    No city in PA is listed there yet PA is a poll option?

      The poll felt incomplete without the PA option.

        Now some might say Flint in Michigan, but I'm going to go with California, the state of Oerdin.

          Harrisburg, PA, I expect.
          If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

            Camden, without even looking at your list.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              ****, I forgot about Camden. Yeah you're probably right. Harrisburg's toast though.

                Camden's presence right across the Delaware River makes Philly look good by comparison.

                  Newark has Port Newark, so I really don't see it going bankrupt without something Very Bad happening to the port.

                  Paterson...hmm. It has problems but will likely be buoyed by its surroundings. That is to say, it is surrounded by several rich towns and has route 80 going right through it. Nobody is going to want a bankrupt Paterson on their commercial front porch.

                    We had a bus stop in Camden. It made Tulsa look like Tokyo.

                        Tulsa has it's good points. You want to talk ****hole, drive through Altus in the SW area of Oklahoma.

                          What is the prize for first correct guess?

                          Might be waiting a while for someplace to go bankrupt to collect that prize.

                            The first person to guess correctly gets to ban Ben for a week.
