These Two Places Could Be the 51st and 52nd States of America

Image
Say sayonara to the 50 stars on our grand old flag. If speculation can be believed, the United States of America could soon add two more brethren to its ranks. And no, it’s not Canada or Mexico. Odds are, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico could soon claim statehood,  OZY  reports. The movement to make Washington, D.C. a state gained momentum in the spring of 2016, when 86 percent of D.C. voters approved a petition on the matter. The district later drafted a state constitution during a summer convention. Meanwhile, proponents also attended the Republican and Democratic national conventions to advocate for their cause. “We’ve accomplished a lot in educating Americans around the country,” says Paul Strauss, the district’s two-term “shadow senator.” D.C.’s representatives may sit in Congress but do not vote.

Puerto Rico is where women wear the highest heels in the entire U.S, study finds

Image
And the winner is – drum roll – Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico claims the top spot in a survey of United States and its territories seeking where women wore the highest heels. Puerto Rico came in with an average of 2.86 inch heels, with Nevada, Florida, Arkansas and Texas following the island. The survey, titled “Stilettos by State,” was conducted by Gilt , an online shopping site, in effort to see whether fashion tastes varied by location. Nebraska, Kansas and Maine were home to women preferring the shortest heels, just under 1.97 inches. The Gilt survey did not look at boots and ballet flats. High heel averages in states near the top of the list were 2.46 inches in Florida, 2.35 inches in Texas, and 2.25 inches in California. Theories abounded in published reports about the variety of taste in heels. They included drawing a link between a preference for high heels and warm weather, and low heels and rural areas. Another publication drew a parallel between high heels and places whe...
