Still, beat 1797 for compact & bijou! (Pop. of St. David's!) Not too many crime gangs there (though there are in Cardiff!) Anyway I was just thinking: maybe Mr Broaddus (who I have yet to meet) will succeed with "King Maker" in putting Indianapolis on the map! In which case the city fathers will have reason to bless him! (Maybe then they'll even support the homeless projects he is involved with.) OK I've got another question for your US experts: what are the differences between Indianapolis and Minneapolis?maskoflokihttp://community.livejournal.com/lokeansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-57175027043971859842010-03-09T10:16:04.212-06:002010-03-09T10:16:04.212-06:00I know what the 14th largest city in the UK is (an...I know what the 14th largest city in the UK is (and I am from the UK.) It's Nottingham. According to population size and also strict definition of a city (our definitions are a bit different from other places: eg a town of any size is considered a city if there is a cathedral in it: therefore we have quite a lot of small cities that have far less population than larger towns! Whereas in the US it goes solely by population, no? The smallest city in UK is St David's in Wales - also in the whole world! (If we Brits can't have the biggest, we'll have the smallest!)). 14th is Nottingham with 280,000. According to strict definitions (ie, city, *not* conurbation - so what you folks would call "metro area", no?) Yes I had to look it up. I thought it might be Coventry: but that's on some lists as 11th biggest and on others as 13th. It depends on your definitions. Brits are finicky! I know off the top of my head that Glasgow is 4th biggest with over 1/2 a million people.maskoflokihttp://community.livejournal.com/lokeansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-63385710825424326902010-01-20T12:29:42.890-06:002010-01-20T12:29:42.890-06:00Oh, I think it's an interesting question.

The availability of g...@Laird - I definitely agree. The availability of google and/or a dictionary is definitely something that reduces the impact of unfamiliar places or words.<br /><br />I don't think this is a problem. It was more curiousity on my part on how well foreign readers were equipped to take on various American cities. The answer was not especially (but probably more so than the typical American) but the conclusion I'm coming to is that it doesn't really matter if you are or not.<br /><br />I felt kind of like the Freakonomic's researcher. I had a data set but wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to say.<br /><br />I'm just warning people about Indianapolis more than anything ;-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473405698318766392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-54295877370517675802010-01-20T06:53:39.711-06:002010-01-20T06:53:39.711-06:00There's something to be said for the familiar....There's something to be said for the familiar. However,from a consumer perspective,I've read plenty of European fiction that is set in locations that are unfamiliar to me and never gave it a thought. These days, a couple of google clicks and you know all you need to know about a city/town, etc. <br /><br />Same thing with unfamiliar words. I don't sweat readers who can't be bothered to flip open a dictionary on occasion. In any event, neither of these circumstances are things I've heard many readers complain about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
