Actually, at the end of the last Ice Age, there used to be. Whales and walruses lived in the Great Lakes for a time after they were connected to the ocean. Also, the most recent mastodon fossils have been found in southern MI. Approx. 6,000 BP, at the same time civilization was beginning in Ancient Sumer, Paleo-Indians were hunting mastodons in Michigan

Me either! I thought is was Brooklyn! What do they mean by largest? By population, or acreage?

North Carolina has the best of all with the creation of Krispy Kreme doughnuts --- this original shop is one block down from our vet and it is impossible to resist the 'Hot Doughnuts Now' sign when it is lit -- zillions of calories, but who cares --
