Puzzle
In the spirit of Puzzleblogger Kevan Choset at The Volokh Conspiracy, here’s a puzzle:
What fact links together the cities of Baltimore, Laredo, and Bakersfield?
There are a few other places that fit the pattern, but none that I know of is an American city. Answers may be placed in the comments.
Useless hint: This should be very easy for some readers, impossible for others. I’m curious as to how many of my readers fall into each group.
