North Carolina: An old "flip this house" type of show we used to watch on TLC in the 2000's. I wonder what ever happened to that guy? Can't even remember the name of his company to google it. I'd imagine he went down hard when your sub-prime housing market crashed. Part of the show was about the crazy deals he did on the ridiculously-over-priced flips.

North Dakota: The son of close family friends got a full-ride football scholarship to NDSU. Go Bison! He actually got cut in his 4th year and had to come home because there was no way the family could afford the "international student" tuition.

Michigan: Boarder shopping in Detroit (just over the line from Windsor, ON) used to be big, before our dollar tanked and the city got such a reputation for being dangerous. It's the opposite end of the country from me though so I don't know if it's still as commonly done.

There was one answer that they didn’t like each other, but another one was in order to give two more US Senators to the party in power at the time.
