Who is the Patricia Portion named after? I haven't been able to find a source that indicates who it was named after. Was it Princess Patricia of Connaught?

Yes, that was her. Granddaughter of Queen Victoria. There is also a Canadian military unit named for her. Princess Pat's Canadian Light Infantry.

Kenora is not an acronym but a portmanteau of the three places that merged to form it: Keewatin, Norman, and Rat Portage.

I asked my wife, who grew up in Thunder Bay, lived there until she was almost 30 if she'd ever heard the Patricia Portion term. Nope. I love learning stuff!

809 - CARIBBEAN

809 used to be the area code for all of the North American part of the Caribbean. (Some of the countries are included with Latin America.) Now 809 only serves the Dominican Republic. Name an island country in the Caribbean. No mainland country is acceptable.

812 - INDIANA

Southern Indiana contains no major cities. Answer a question about flyover places.
  • What two-word state on the 49th parallel have Americans visited least?
  • According to legend, if you could flatten this state on the Monongahela, Tug Fork, and Ohio rivers (but not the Shenandoah), it would be as big as Texas
  • What city of more than 600,000 lies on the North Canadian River?
  • What city of more than 600,000 has the leading cargo airport in the United States?
  • Go 17 miles due north from city hall in this city of more than 600,000 and you'll be in New Mexico; go one mile due south and you'll be in old Mexico
  • What city of over 400,000 was formerly headquarters of the Strategic Air Command and is where President Bush went on September 11?
  • What city of around 800,000 is the largest in Ohio?
  • Besides Alaska and Hawaii, name either of the two states that have no Amtrak service. (Will be scored separately.)
  • Each of American, Delta, and United fly to 49 states. What is the only state none of them fly to?
  • Name the city in deep-flyover southern Missouri that's been built into a major resort and entertainment center in the past 25 years.

Oh geez..... Classic example of RTFQ. I saw state as country and then read parallel, disregarding the number, which reminded me of the Korean peninsula. I forgot to read, you know, the important parts of the clue. :D

For question 9, what definition of “country” are we using? Because there are quite a few answers that I wouldn’t count as countries

I guess a definition that let everyone who entered score with a correct answer.

Entities that issue stamps? Hell, that would mean I'd have to accept Redonda as a correct answer.

I thought exactly the same. If any island is acceptable, then I’d like to go with my original answer, Montserrat ;)

I wasn't sure of the definition of "island country", so I stayed away from countries like Sint Maarten because it is only part of an island.

I went sports for Florida and picked Pompano Beach recalling one of my favorite bowlers from back in the day, Bob Handley, was from there. For the baseball I picked left field since I played that position in my recreational hardball & softball experience.

St Pete's Beach is found many times on the web indicating it's a local variation. Miamo Beach is just wrong. I know it's a typo, but is that fair to all the people who get emanciptated of their low scores over Kahloowe, Helio Catroneves, etc.

I'm OK with a neg if you need to be precise; I did use a localism which is not strictly accurate. When I was stationed at MacDill, we lived in St Petersburg and recreated at what was then the separate city of St Petersburg Beach. For some reason, the local nickname was St Pete's. That way, I guess, people knew from you saying "St Pete" or "St Pete's" whether you were on the mainland or on the island. After we left, the island town officially renamed themselves St Pete Beach to better differentiate the town on the island from the city of the St Petersburg. Old habits die hard.
