My only complaint is that they still left the UP as part of Michigan... it would look much cleaner to throw that into another piece. If you ever wondered why it became part of Michigan read up on the "War of Toledo" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_War

My impression (from talking to yooper coworkers) is that it's about half Wisconsin, half Canada up there. Either way, doesn't make sense to lump them in with us trolls.

Having Chesapeake split by Baltimore-Washington is unfortunate too.

Well, the alternative view is that it's split by the Chesapeake Bay. It's a bit tough to tell whether it got Annapolis and the Bay Bridge, though.

It's pretty clear that both Annapolis and the bay bridge went to BW, but Chesapeake got the Bay Bridge-Tunnel which almost makes up for it.

For all the trouble it would cause, I know quite a few people who wouldn't mind parting with old Baltmo' for good.
