Two articles about Renee's appearance.

http://citizensvoice.com/news/scranton- ... -1.1298282

Stevens, who is also an assistant girls basketball coach at Scranton High School, watched the episode with some of her co-workers at a friend's house, on the last day of their spring break. No one else knew what a "boomburb" was either, she said.

Even though she has had game show success, Stevens said this will likely be her last appearance on national TV. She said she will stick to the classroom.

Gonna let some of the rest of us get a chance, eh?

I know it's not A, C or D. So I'll go with B, even though I thought the Alleghenies were further north.

David is on display in Florence, so even though I don't know for certain where the others are located, they aren't located in their countries of origin.

I've never heard of "boomburb". I might have gone with D without hesitation and gone home with the $1K.
