Arkansas…

About half of Arkansas is covered under forest.

Random fact other than the normal things people think about like all the famous people, diamond mine, lake ouchita being one of the cleanest lakes in the country, etc etc.

I think? Why don’t you Google stuff? You could have done it here. You could have done it with marijuana you wanted to start smoking again. Come on dude. Put some effort in.

My area of PA has six NFL hall of fame QBs: George Blanda, Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and Jim Kelly.

The Susquehanna River is in the top 5 oldest rivers in the world. Older than the Appalachian Mountains.

The steepest street in the country is in Pittsburgh

Florida also has the most karate

Really, whichever state I am in has the most karate, but I spend the vast majority of my time in Florida.

You start the thread, and you get your fact wrong?

Texas has had 7 flags fly over it, including the Republic of the Rio Grande. It lasted less than a year, but it did fly.

Washington produces 74% of the nation’s beer hops.


Idaho and Oregon are responsible for almost all of the rest. Less than 1% are grown elsewhere. Fun fact about Idaho’s hop production. It primarily comes from one farm in the far northern panhandle. It’s easy to find using imagery on Google or Apple Maps. It’s on the west side of the Kootenai River just south from where it enters Canada. It was started by Anheuser-Busch and is the largest continuous hop farm in the country.
