Coeur d’Alene
Great puzzle! Happy to say that 17a was a gimme, as Coeur d’Alene is where I solve all my puzzles:). In case anyone’s interest was piqued, Coeur d’Alene (meaning heart of the awl) was named after the local native tribe. They were given the name, which was recorded by the Lewis and Clark expedition, by early French trappers because of their sharp trading skills. These days we are a lake city of 56,000 (groan) on I-90 thirty miles from Spokane…Go Zags! Also we don’t have many EMU ‘s here👍
35 years ago I memorized the banner statement on the Budweiser label (as a fun challenge while drinking them of course:). Today that party trick finally paid off! “This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Aging produces a taste, a smoothness and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price” Fun and quick puzzle. Almost half my Wednesday average. I wonder what beer the Emu drinks?
@Steven M Always been a favorite bit of trivia for me. People are usually surprised when I tell them that here in north Idaho, while we’re roughly 400 miles from Pacific, we’re almost due north of San Diego 😀
@Liz B My late mother had 5 dz ( 1) first cousins! 46 from her mom’s side and 15 from her dad’s. I remember some pretty big family reunions when I was a kid😀
@Matt Brightest star in the northern hemisphere too😀
@Jenny H Not sure of the origin, but we used to get coney dogs at the A&W drive-in here in North Idaho when I was growing up in the ‘70’s.
