Please don't post images like this, I'll end up with fellow Americans telling people in Chicago to flee north to Italy before you know it.
Well, then again maybe they won't know what Italy looks like
Did you know that Venice sits at the same latitude as Minneapolis?
Didn't know that off the top of my head. I was making a joke about Italy and Chicago being at the same longitude do to the picture.
Although the area just west of Venice, now part of Tuscany I believe was given to Spain in exchange for the Louisiana Purchase (part of a larger deal) , which I believe may have included Minneapolis. Don't remember where the lines fall.
