I am an Arizona native and I got one: Biosphere II. Many of the others seemed common sense, in hindsight.
17/21. Two I knew but couldn’t remember (pfft). Two (3 & 8) I just did not know.
Marshall Trimble grew up around the corner from me in Maryvale,his house was within eyesight of “Muggs Up” drive-in. It’s nice to see a fellow Maryvalian love Arizona as much as the rest of us that were born/raised here.
