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!

there's no Villa Park in Qld, but there did (about 10 yrs ago) used to be an Aston Villa Motor Inn in Yamba, NSW- I got a picture of it and will post it if I can find it.

Not sure if its there any more though, as we drove through last new year to stay at Yamba for a couple of days on the way to Coffs Harbour and I didn't see it.

Think there was a horse in a 50's Caulfield Cup race named Aston Villa.

The Caulfield Cup is a Group 1 race in the lead up to the more famous Melbourne Cup. I think it's possibly one of the most obscure references to the club given that European horses didn't fly over to the antipodes for the Melb spring carnival way back then. It had to be owned and named by a Brummie.
