Lexington, Louisville, and Chattanooga. What a letdown. Some folks I know were getting their exact town as their response.

Pretty much the I70 corridor from Pittsburgh to Kansas. I remember Pittsburgh and Detroit but don't remember the 3rd city.

Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Aurora. Apparently Devil’s Night is a distinctly Pittsburgh thing.

Pretty much the I70 corridor from Pittsburgh to Kansas. I remember Pittsburgh and Detroit but don't remember the 3rd city.

2nd run was Pittsburgh, Columbus, Overland Park. I think Overland Park was the 3rd from my first run.

Springfield and Worcester are two of the least alike for me.
