Do you live in a coastal city?

    If circulating oceanic saltwater reaches a given city, it's coastal. Salt Lake City would be an example of a city that's touched by circulating non-oceanic saltwater (nevermind how far inland it is) and therefore not coastal.

      How do I know if circulating oceanic saltwater reaches my city? I think it's too polluted to taste it. We got tides though.

        It rained this weekend and there was a big puddle near the street. So for now, Yes.

          Whatever government agency that's responsible for monitoring your waterways (oceanic or otherwise) will have all that kind of information.

However, Montreal was still the largest port in Canada until quite recently, and remains the largest inland port in the world. The Saint Lawrence Seaway begins at Montreal and ends at the west end of Lake Erie (near Detroit) some 800 km away
            By "largest" do you mean in city size or shipping traffic? I swear hearing that Duluth, Minnesota was the world's biggest inland port.

              The geographic center of North America is at Devil's Lake, North Dakota, only 150 miles away from here; so hell no I ain't on the coast.

                We got really big tides.

                        1000+ feet up.

                        Got no harbour, no earthquakes, hurricanes, or tsunamis.

                        What's a volcano? I look down on tidal waves.

                        Severe floods climb a quarter way up the banks of what is a very tame river.

                        They don't happen anymore after they put in the dam.

                        A freak tornado is the most excitement we get.

                        Oh, and several feet of snow.

                        It's -10c on April 2.

                        There may be a blizzard before June or just after August.

                        I'm told it'll improve if we all drive more SUVs.

                            Errr...no.

                            Duluth is the world's "most inland" port, being further from the sea than any other.

                            Montreal handles much more traffic than Duluth does, AFAIK

                              Yes, more or less but 20 years of landfill has moved the coast further away by about a mile.

                                I'm living in an island city-state. Nobody lives in a more coastal town than I do.
