I thought of something interesting while driving back from Philadelphia last night. Almost everyone who lives in the northeast is familiar with the term "Tri-State Area". It's always mentioned in regard to a sale at the car dealer or some stupid radio contest. I guess it kind of makes more people feel included in some sort of sales pitch. Is this term present in every part of the country? I know they don't say it in Hawaii; they say "The Islands" instead. What if you lived in, say, Reno, NV. The only state in the area is California. Do they say "Bi-State Area"? I bet the would make a lot of people uncomfortable. And what about if you lived near Four Corners where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah come together? I guess it would be the "Quad-State Area"
So people of Reno, Four Corners, Maine, I invite you to leave a comment and share the answer to this Deep Thought with the rest of the world.
Hope you had a Happy Veteran's Day. My Grandfather sure did; he turned 90! See you in 10 years Willard Scott.

Did they put the railing and posts around the Four Corners marker because people were trying to park over all the states at one time? I wonder what that cost the taxpayers? Did all 4 states contribute equally or did they do it according to their population? When we were there in 1988, you walked up to the place and just bent over and took a picture.
I guess if people starting dying at the 4 corners, would they have to call in the 4 coroners?
in maine, the tri-state area is maine, vermont, and new hampshire.
also in maine, LA stands for lewiston-auburn and not los angeles.
'tis a silly place.
Great work.
