As an outsider, I'd recommend against this one -- Wasatch doesn't mean
anything to me, and if I had to guess, I'd probably think "some strange and
fabled mountain creature related to the Yeti" before I'd think "somewhere in
Utah".

Then maybe it's time to fix that, neh?  :-,  I had no idea what "Bay Area" was
until I came to the States...then I discovered it referred to the San
Francisco Bay area...then I discovered it really depended upon which bay you
were closest to.  That doesn't make the monkier any less appropriate; it just
means that I had learned a new name.

Hm, what areas are known as "the Bay Area"? I've only ever associated it
with the SF area, and I've only lived on the East coast.

(...) Galveston, TX was the biggie for me. But then, everyone in the Houston area thinks the world revolves around Houston... :-P Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ut, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc)
