you also can learn about our state and national parks, our most popular
tourist attractions, our historic sites, our arts and foods festivals.
Not only can you read about
our cities and counties, our rivers and lakes, our major businesses and
institutions of higher learning, you can also inform yourself about our
biggest crimes, our major disasters, our favorite folk tales and
legends.
You can even get pointers on
