More than one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, the only location that had an actual address was
the post office itself. Instead, people would name their houses,
and then people in the town would learn the names
of the houses to orient themselves. So the initial inhabitants

US state to Africa?
Speaker 2 (09:51):

Speaker 3 (09:54):
So because most of the maps that we look at
are flat right right, they're one to men. But if
you look at it in a different way, it's not.
We always think that like like Maine is closest to
like Europe, but it's not that way. But like, geographically
miles wise, US, Maine is the closest state to Africa.
