Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where did "Kublai Khan a stately pleasure dome decree"?

Answer: Xanadu

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), so the story goes, was working on this poem and had gotten through a portion of the work while under the influence of one of the mind-altering drugs that had come into vogue with the artsy crowd. While at work, there was a knock at the door, Coleridge answered it and started yakking with a friend.

After the friend left, the poet went back to work but couldn't remember where he was going with the piece. "Now, what was I just thinking about?"
2. For many years, Marshall Dillon presided over this anything-but-quiet town in the American west. Where did Miss Kitty, Doc, Chester and the rest call home?

Answer: Dodge City

In its day, the longest running drama on American TV. And every week there was some kind of crisis, disaster, mystery or stranger who just rode into town. Dodge City had more action than contemporary LA.
3. OK, sure, everybody knows that Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bea and the rest of the gang lived in Mayberry. But where did they all go when in the mood for a rockin' good time?

Answer: Mount Pilot

Barney and Thelma Lou were always driving off for a good time in Mount Pilot, away from the prying eyes of their Mayberry neighbors.
4. In 1963, where did Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs suggest we all go for a good time?

Answer: Sugar Shack

"There's a crazy little place, across the tracks. The name of the place is the Sugar Shack." - Jimmy Gilmer
5. In a the novel, "Arrowsmith", by Pulitzer Prize winner, Sinclair Lewis, Martin Arrowsmith discovers he wants to be a doctor by watching the old country doc in his small home town. What was the name of this small burg?

Answer: Sauk Center

"Arrowsmith" is one of Lewis' best reads - an epic story that follows the life of young medical student, Martin Arrowsmith, from idealistic young man to a cynical doctor who chucks it all. In between, there's romance, tragedy, exotic locations and the character development that won this novel the Pulitzer Prize, which Lewis declined.
6. Everyone knows the famous 'Mona Lisa', perhaps the most valuable painting in all the world. But what's being shown in the background of this portrait - a place to which you can't get to from here?

Answer: a country scene with a stone bridge

Everyone focuses on the visage of the beautiful Mona Lisa, so who looks to see what's going on in the background?
7. Where did Fred and Wilma Flintstone call home?

Answer: Bedrock

"....from the town of Bedrock, they're a page right out of history."
8. This award-winning book by Katherine Paterson describes an imaginary place created by two young friends at their special meeting spot in the woods. What was the name of this touching tale?

Answer: Bridge to Terabithia

Each year, the American Library Association - true defenders of free speech - award the Newbery Medal to the best young adult book of the year. This title won and is worth a read by anyone.
9. Wouldn't it have been great to go to college with Otter, Bluto and all of the other characters from the movie, "Animal House"? What is the name of the college where this classic comedy takes place?

Answer: Faber College

Produced on a minuscule budget, this movie has become a true classic and it made stars out of people like Kevin Bacon and of, course, John Belushi.
10. "Our Town", by Thornton Wilder, is a classic American drama. In what fictional town does this sweet story unfold?

Answer: Grover's Corners

Wilder captures the spirit and innocence of this small New Hampshire town. He also 'breaks the fourth wall' with a character, the "Stage Manager", who speaks directly to the audience.
