The first American city I visited and I have been back a few times since, Chicago is twinned with Brum and has the best baseball stadium in the world.

There are also Villa Parks in California and Denver. Doing all three would be a decent challenge.

I have not won the lottery this week, so excuse me for dropping out of the challenge.

And one in Eindhoven - thought my son would have moved to that area on principle when he started working in Eindhoven this year. Clearly needs more indoctrination next time he's home

4 weeks ago I could have done a decent attempt. Denver was out the way though.

Think it's just a posh residential area with big houses - even so, disappointed he didn't make the effort!
