We pulled our kids from school because cases are getting out of control. We are going to be teaching them the basics, like writing, reading, and math(all subjects that they are well ahead of their class in.) My wife decided she is going to start introducing them to science by creating a curriculum based around ecosystems. I figured why not also create a curriculum centered around geography, so if anyone has anything interesting about where they live I would include it.

They are 5 and 7. That's exactly the kind of thing that I think they'd be interested in too.

I live next to Valley Forge. And also a giant mall.

From a demographic perspective, my specific town is the lone urban and multi-racial center in a county that is more affluent, suburban, and white.

There's a Library of Congress archive nearby and also a very highly esteemed whiskey and moonshine distillery.

There are also so many horses and cattle around here.

I live in Phoenix...nothing special here. Arizona is interesting overall though, especially if you've never been(most people think of it being a giant desert, I mean, which it is...but,). Arizona has the worlds largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the world, and it's official fossil is petrified wood.

Isn't Phoenix, as a city, completely and perfectly pre-planned, to the point that all the roads are equally spaced and at right angles? My dad used to take business trips there, and he used to talk about that...and the way it would rain super intensely for 20 minutes every day and then stop completely and be dry and cloudless for the other 23h40.

Um... the arch?

The zoo here is pretty cool. The cages are nice and big so I don't feel too bad for the animals, except the birds. They have a bald eagle sitting in a relatively small cage hidden in the back where people barely go... that has always bothered me.

Phoenix is based on a grid system, and yeah it was planned, but I wouldn't say it's perfect lol. All roads on the west end are ave's the east end is streets, and the middle is central. Granted for the most part it does work, but there are a few chokeholds the make traffic a nightmare not just on the freeway, but all the side roads too.

The other thing is monsoon season, and yes it tends to pour for a good 15 minutes then it goes away.

I'm from Central Jersey right around where the battle of monmouth took place. we have a ton of historical places and parks around here cuz it's probably the most important thing ever to happen in jersey. if they like hamilton the musical i would def teach them about the battle of monmouth because it is very pivotal and IMO very interesting

right down the street from where I used to live is this old inn that's only open twice a month for kids, it's basically got nothing historic about it other than "george washington stopped here once to take a shit." lots of places around here like that but it legit is interesting. we have a road behind the target called "Washington's Advance" and even tho it's just a road behind a target now apparently it was actually one of the real roads Washington went down to get to the battle of monmouth. again I know it sounds boring but it's cool af knowing you're walking where george washington walked. behind the target. ye old target.

I live a block from Woodlawn Cemetery. It's an historic landmark and several famous individuals, like Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Herman Melville among others are buried there.

The town where I live now is home to the original Burger King, which predates and is unrelated to the chain.

The town I grew up in is known as the Carpet Capital of the World.

I feel stuff like this is probably more of what he is looking for than stuff like distilleries or cemeteries to talk about with his kids that are both under 8 years old

Anything and everything. If you believe it to be interesting I would like to know. I can sort the wheat from the chaff afterward.
