Hint: We're in the U.S. Your job is to guess the city and state. We'll do this in two phases: state and then city. Phase 1 involves guessing the state. One guess per contestant, per day. When the state has been guessed correctly, we'll post it here, and also on Facebook and Twitter. Then it's on to Phase 2, where you'll guess the city. The first contestant to correctly guess both state and city wins a free souvenir T-shirt from our new town. The first contestant to correctly guess the state wins a free pair of sparkly dangle earrings. Send contest entries, one entry per person, per day, to webmaster@obitcity.com. Put "Obit City Contest" in the subject heading. Contest will remain open until it's won. Employees and volunteers of Obit City are barred from entering, in addition to relatives, close friends and bedmates of the Obit City staff. Everyone else is fair game. Now get busy and win that T-shirt!
