Hundredaire,

You state that there is a "Glenwood, Hawaii" on the Big Island.

I just checked with the USPS (again) and there is no listing for Glenwood, HI. My detailed maps of Hawaii do not show a Glenwood.

If you've seen a "Glenwood" on the Big Island, perhaps it was a community name, such as given by developers. However, that does not count as a city or town.

Please let us know why you believe there is such a place.

Cordially,

Russ

Thanks to June, I can see where Glenwood, HI, is available on an electronic map. So, I checked my copy of Mircorsoft's Streets & Trips and also found it there.

It is on the Big Island (Hawaii) on Route 11, between Volcano and Mountain View. Yet, the font (on my Streets & Trips) is smaller than the font level as is used for towns, indicating that it is something less than a town.

So, it appears that perhaps this is a community that could be considered a town, in which case, I'll concede the point.

My argument has been that a place does not qualify unless recognized by the United States Postal Service -- if we go by this, then Glenwood does not yet qualify.

Maybe we can get some info on this community from an Hawaiian resident. Anyone living there who's reading this?

Yet, as regards to Glenwood being the answer to the question. I don't see a Glenwood, Alaska, so perhaps Glenwood, Hawaii is moot. "Glenwood" is not the answer.

Cordially,

Russ

Libbylu where are you? We want to know if the radio station ever came up with the answer!

I agree with hamburglar -- it must be the capitol! (al?)

>> Every one of the 50 United States has a town with this name. <<

Russ, I never claimed that Glenwood was the answer to the question. I was merely refuting your contention that no towns in Hawaii begin with the letter G. I wouldn't rely on the U.S. Postal Service for place names. That's the domain of the U.S. Geological Survey. As for the original question, the traditional answer that I've seen on several trivia Web sites is Greenville, which is obviously wrong. In looking for the answer, Hawaii is the stumbling block since it doesn't have many English place names. I've come to the conclusion that there is no city name common to all 50 states.
