Next up, Montana. Turner Bison SC is one of the clubs owned by Ted Turner. He owns a few clubs in various states and at least one more will come up in a later box. I did consider not splitting the Montana league and maybe having it be on a summer schedule or something, but with doing these...

Now that I've done a couple more small leagues, time to return to a bigger league. In fact now we go to the second entry in the Big Six, Ohio! The notes: I felt like the major top flight teams should be fairly evenly divided between Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland. A few of the teams are...

Next up in the state soccer leagues, Delaware. This one was actually a bit trickier to do because there's just not that much in Delaware.

I couldn't decide between the Labor Department's Mine Health and Safety Administration or the Interior Department's Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration. So I had the team be from both. :D EDIT: Which I now realize the MESA was the predecessor to the MSHA because apparently wiki doesn't...

Finally did another entry in my US state soccer league world. Washington, DC!

I had an idea for something in my American state soccer leagues universe.

I had a random idea.

Continuing the state soccer leagues, Wisconsin. Some notes A few more mining-based teams in Wisconsin. Like with Galena Desloge in Missouri, Galena Platteville comes from the lead mining in this region, in the Driftless Area. This is also where the Badgers name comes from for La Crosse, as...

Next up, Connecticut! You might argue that I overdid the number of Portuguese American clubs, but two of the three are real. Bridgeport Vasco da Gama was founded in the 1940s, and Danbury Lusitania is a version of the OTL Danbury United, founded by the Portuguese Cultural Center there. The...

They probably made some half-hearted attempts at recognition in the 90s and 00s, but since the whole Conch Republic thing quickly turned into more of a tourism gimmick it would be more for the publicity than anything serious.

Another state done, Florida! A few things of note: Plant Field is what is now Pepin Stadium at the University of Tampa. Originally built in 1899 by Henry Plant, it had been used for decades for minor league games. In OTL the stadium was transferred to the neighboring University of Tampa in...

Another state finished.

:D That's one of the reasons I usually don't worry too much about purple links while making boxes, it does add a bit more realism IMO to pepper in a few. Here for the club names they mostly ended up being the St. Louis clubs that existed in OTL. Interesting ting I found, St. Louis Kutis actually...

Continuing the American state soccer league system thing I've been brainstorming. This time one of the more established states, Missouri.

As happens when I start playing Football Manager again, I've been thinking about an American soccer league system where each state has its own league. I got further than I usually do in jotting down ideas and decided to do something to flesh out Colorado a bit more. Unfortunately there's no...

Harry Britt, an openly gay DSA member and San Francisco supervisor, ran in 1987 for congress in the special election for the 5th district. He lost by about 4,000 votes in the Democratic primary to Nancy Pelosi. I did a quick box on a potential (rather optimistic) career path if he won that race.

The last batch of 2010 elections from Green Revolution on the Golden Gate. This time the focus goes deeper on California, with statewide elections, congressional elections, and state assembly elections. In California the Green Party is now becoming a solid third party at every level, and is even...

Another collage of more 2010 Green Revolution boxes. I may be having too much fun with Montana and with New York's fusion ballots.

Made a collage of a bunch of the Green Revolution 2010 election boxes I've been making while I have a brief hiatus to plan and build up an update buffer again.

It wouldn't be the weirdest thing like that in this country. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Third_Bank
