State Quiz - Florida

Brain freeze! Tried every vegetable and drug crop I could think of before getting oranges in the last few seconds!

Lived here since 1956 and almost forgot the Everglades.

Pensacola is the oldest city in the United States. They say the oldest "continually inhabited" city is St. Augustine, but recent discovery has shown that it Pensacola is probably the oldest continually inhabited city, too.

2:39. Apparently something called Ybor City was removed, which is good, because I've never heard of it. :-)

Surely "gator" should be enough for the reptile? They got a World, after all!

There's an extra "s" in the flamingo question (should be "bird").

When I was in Florida over 40 years ago, oranges were the state's second most valuable cash crop.

Spent all my Summer Vacations until I was 18 with my grand parents in Naples. fond memories, wish I could go back sometime.

So close! Tried JFK for Space Center but didn't get it.

The New York airport?? :D

Citrus or citrus fruit for most valuable crop?

With all the people getting so snickety about Pensacola and st Augustine, I think everybody forgot about San Juan being the oldest European settlement in the US. St. Augustine is the oldest continually inhabited settlement in the continental United States.

But who cares? It literally does not matter

If there are about one-and-a-half million Cuban Americans in Florida, can there really be about a million of that number who were born in Cuba? I would have thought that the majority would now have been born in the U.S.

i spent 1:30 trying to spell okojobee, okijobi, okochobee, okobojee, Ocononomowoc

I feel like "citrus" should be accepted for oranges and "John F Kennedy" should be accepted for Kennedy.

A qualifier is needed in regard to states where flamingoes are seen in the wild. The American Flamingo has been seen in at least eight states: TX, LA, FL, SC, VA, MD, KS, and MO. A quick check of the species distribution map on Cornell University's eBird website shows many sightings in Texas over the last few years. I also remember reading in one of the San Francisco newspapers, about 35 years ago, about a mysterious flock of flamingoes that used to appear once in a while in the area of San Pablo Bay or Suisun Bay. As far as I know, nobody ever tracked that flock down to determine which species of flamingo they were. Anyway, it is indeed true that Florida is the state where American Flamingoes turn up most often, but they are also rare but regular visitors to the Texas coast as well. Grrr....I am an American, but the only species of flamingo in the world that I have not seen is the American Flamingo, dang it!
