Middleburg, VA
Cynthiana, KY

You're probably never going to get it, so I'll give y'all a hint: they all have schools or parks honoring a certain person.

I have no idea what the answer is to this...

However, I have a question...  Can I see a picture of your devoted alpha slave?

Brian

Your list is from Queer as Folk, right?

I can Google too. (Wouldn't have gotten it w/o your hint, though.)

Though I'm a bit miffed that you didn't include DC, which appears to have both a Banneker school and park.

Now it's my turn to be impressed! I figured that would stump all you straight folk.

1900
1920
1940
1960

What do these years have in common (besides the census)?

Ah, but have you seen L'Enfant Plaza? Not exactly a great monument.

To be fair to dear old Pierre, I honestly do think he designed the city, though I confess that I'm no expert. He got fired, I think, because he was a lousy politician and razed some wealthy dude's house because it was in the way of one his grand boulevards. FWIW, Wikipedia says Banneker's role in DC lies in the realm of urban legend. But again, I'm no expert.

You were the last list solver, LAM, so feel free to post a new challenge if you want. I was just pinch-hitting between rounds of stirring my plum pudding.
