Well it's either "the world's first scheduled passenger service airline flight", or "the longest cable-stayed span in the United States, the longest concrete span of its type in the Western Hemisphere".

Hang on . . . let me flip a coin.

PING! Flap, flap, flap . . .

Thud . . . slap! Ummm heads . . . okay, I'll go with the passenger service airline flight.

I said easy < Grin >

Greater Miami is the only metropolitan area in the United States whose borders encompass two national parks.

There are a lot of NPS locations out there.

Atlanta - Kennesaw Mountain, Chattahoochie River, MLKing.

New York City - 8 listed.

Hyde Park, NY - Vanderbilt, FDR, Elenor Rosevelt

Charleston, SC - Pinckney, Sumter

District of Columbia/Baltimore metro area - too many to list.

San Francisco metro - 7 sites.

Even St. Augustine FL has a couple of sites.

The list is not exhaustive. Click here (actually, cut and paste since the link isn't clickable here) http://www.nps.gov/applications/parksearch/geosearch.cfm and search by state or zip code.
