#greenscreen Looking at every
#tristate #metro #area in the
#USA. While it may not be often-discussed,
#tristatearea's are actually quite common in the
#US, with nearly 50 million
#Americans living in one. This is largely because
#NewYorkCity,
#America's largest
#city, forms a tristate with
#Connecticut and
#NewJersey, which right away is 20 million people.
#Chicago, our 3rd largest city with another 11 million people in its metro, extends into Northwest
#Indiana and Southeast
#Wisconsin, while the nation's
#capital city,
#Washington #DC, anchors the
#DMV, or DC
#Maryland and
#Virginia. No, DC isn’t a state, but the DMV now includes Jefferson County,
#WestVirginia, which definitely counts.
#Philadelphia #Pennsylvania, the nations 6th largest city/metro, anchors the
#DelawareValley metro, which includes
#SouthJersey and Northern
#Delaware (over half of the state). Mid-sized tri-state areas include
#Cincinnati,
#Ohio, whose metro extends into
#Kentucky and
#Indiana, and
#Memphis,
#Tennessee, extending into
#Arkansas and
#Mississippi. Some claim
#Pittsburgh #PA and
#Chattanooga #TN count as well, but I’m more skeptical of those. Finally, there are some obscure ones, like
#Dubuque #Iowa (next to
#IL/
#WI),
#Quincy #Illinois (next to
#MO/
#IA),
#Joplin #Missouri (next to
#KS/
#OK), and
#Kyova, where
#Ashland #KY,
#Huntington #WV, and
#Ironton #OH all meet. Do YOU live in a tri-state area, and which ones were missing from this relatively subjective map?
