Could this really be the center of North America?!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
I like stuff like this. This is kind of fun,
and I appreciate people who, you know, go out of
their way to figure these things out, because I'm sure
a lot of tape measures were involved. The geographical center
of North America, which is now, what does that mean?
I just North America, because Canada is North America too,

(00:27):
But I don't think that's what they mean. I think
they mean the United States, because when I tell you
what the geographical center is, if you factored in Canada,
I don't know if it would make sense. But the
very center, So the center most part of the US
is North Dakota, a city called Center, really, but the
name is just a coincidence, which I thought was ironic too.

(00:51):
It just so happened that there's a town in North
Dakota called Center, and then we would find out later
on it is the center most part of the United States.
I'm trying to think of the map right now, and
I know that I'm bad with geography. I'm just I
you're not seeing North Dakota being near the center, right
because it's a little bit up there.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, who's going to make that fact up?

Speaker 1 (01:13):
You know? In that case, maybe it does include Canada,
but it's so big. I don't know. It says North America.
But I found it interesting that the very center is
a city called Center, and.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
That was an accident, right, Or that main streets like
the main street of a town usually because usually all
the good stuff's on main street.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
That's true too, all right,
