In which US state is the Pentagon located?
Correct answer: Virginia
Montana Lady
Years ago, I was asked by a truck driver in Montana how much farther it was to Washington. I asked him where in Washington he was going, Tacoma, Spokane, Seattle? He told me DC.
It was the man's first job after getting his CDL and he'd come from somewhere in the Midwest US. He'd seen Washington state on the map and just assumed that's where DC would be located.
When I showed him where it actually was on the map the man freaked out. I've always wondered how that story ended.

Does anyone else realize that 9/11 happened exactly 60 years after the ground was broken for construction?

When was the last time you saw the word "metonym?"? I went scrambling to the dictionary. Hey! I like this word! And I love this quiz. I'll make an effort to use the word in conversation today so that I can remember it.

Washington, D.C. is separate from Virginia and separate from Maryland. The Pentagon is in VA. The White House is in D.C. The Naval Academy is in MD. Maybe there will be a question about how D.C. was created, bc my history peeps know that one...

Montana Lady, a story of a truck driver who went Ontario California and he was supposed to be going to Ontario Oregon and there's also Ontario in Canada

Budsville, The real coincidence was that they chose 9-11 and probably didn't realize it was an emergency number to all Americans!

Washington, DC was a malarial swamp before our national Capitol was raised there.

My dad used to work at the Pentagon and now resides in Arlington National Cemetery. His grave is in view of the Pentagon in Sec 64. I thought it was very fitting to have that lovely view.

Sad that this building is now associated with such a tragic day in American history

Montana Lady, that's a long way off from where he needed to be lol. A man asking for directions is funny too because a lot of them won't and my husband was one of them many years ago lol. good story

Honestly sad that about a third of people think it’s in the state of Washington

Easy one for me - live 5 minutes from it. Close enough that I felt the plane hit and had the smoke for three days. Terrible smell.

RegularGeneral47480, yes, but Ontario, Canada is a whole province! The National capital, Ottawa, is in Ontario; as is Toronto. Toronto's Nick name used to be "Toronto the Good". Sadly, not so much anymore.

Interesting fact. A pentagon is the shape of bee hives and is the strongest shape in nature
