I seriously feel like punching something right now.

Havelock, North Carolina?

Elizabeth City, North Carolina?

Port Arthur, Texas?

Not yet. :(

(Seriously though, "Havelock"? "Elizabeth City"? I'd never heard of them before! I had to look at a map just to see where they were!
I'm guessing they don't even have metro areas, let alone a MSA of 350,000-450,000!)

League City, Texas?

New Bern, North Carolina?

Sneads Ferry, North Carolina?

^^ WTF?

No!

It's in Texas, it has a MSA of 350,000-450,000, and it's within 30 miles of the sea...
Please, just put this thread out of its misery... :D

Baytown, Freeport, Pasadena? And yes, there's a Pasadena, Texas, just like there's an Atlanta, California.

No. :(

(And there's also a Brisbane, California... but I don't live there...)

The city isn't part of the Houston MSA, it has its own MSA of approximately 400,000 people. ;)

Rockport, Beaumont, Bay City?

No

Are you just joking / having a laugh to see how long you can drag this thread? I'm asking that sincerely... :dunno:

I'm not! I've been staring at a map of coastal Texas for half an hour now, and my eyes are hurting from that! Besides, I've already dragged on my own GTC's enough for a while.

Harlingen, Brownsville, Port Isabel?

FINALLY!!!!

:banana: :cucumber: :carrot:

Is Brownsville really so obscure? I realise that no-one outside of the US or Mexico would have heard of it, but with a metro area of 400,000 I would have assumed it was fairly well-known within the US and Mexico?

In all honesty, it was on the part of the map that I had obscured with another window. :lol:

^^ lol

Anyway, 3 points for you! :banana:
