Took some time but got a perfect score as well. What pleasantly surprised me was that I somehow remembered that Jacksonville is in Florida, even though I've never set foot on USA and I concidered that to be a pretty small city.
I'm not even going to tell what my first view guesses were-let's just say that nowhere near. Some Finland links and associations. I'm not sure if she does still, but Finnish football/soccer manager Caroline Sjöblom coached Kansas City Current in National Women's Soccer League. And the world's first social democratic prime minister Oskar Tokoi also passed through the city at some point. He had to leave Finland when during the Finland's civil war both Whites and Reds wanted him gone: "An Uncommon View 12 6 2023 Oskar Tokoi Remembered November 2023". Relating note; the Oscar winning movie Reds (1981) was partly filmed in Finland. You can probably spot some familiar locations from Helsinki in the trailer: "Reds - Trailer 1981". Topically, a Finnish decent was one of the signers of the United States Declaration of Independence and one ran for president four times: "John Morton-Signer of the Declaration of Independence", "Voices of the Region: Cleveland Cliffs, Virginia Downtown, Gus Hall Book" and "US COMMUNIST PARTY RUNS GUS HALL FOR PRESIDENT". These will give some background info to those events, following the food related intro: "ATIB- Try the Mustamakkara", "Miksi Tampereella on Lenin-museo?", "How the Finns became White (in America)", "Italian Hall Disaster 1913 | Footprints of Stampede Disaster" and "Woody Guthrie - 1913 Massacre". Also, on the Canadian side of the border: "Dreams of Sointula". Some other related Finnish connections to those cities; apparently there are statues of Jean Sibelius and Elias Lönnrot located in the cultural gardens on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Cleveland. Sibelius being Finland's national composer and Lönnrot the author of the Finnish national epic, Kalevala: "From Kalevala to Middle-Earth: Tolkien's love for Finland's MYTHS!". For a while NBA All-star Lauri Markkanen played for Cleveland Cavaliers before joining the Utah Jazz. In San Diego there's House of Finland, which was founded in early 1940 as part of San Diego’s assistance to the people of Finland during the Winter War: "House of Finland, September 15, 2013". Getting closer to Hollywood, here's Finland's gift to Hollywood-not that Finland ever did anything to promote his career-and couple related videos before his: "Virginialainen James Drury haastattelu 1971", "The Octagon (1980) & Jäätävä polte (1985)" and "Renny Harlin "Die Hard 2" 1990 - Bobbie Wygant Archive". Maybe an injection of historical reality to that Born American: "What Did Soviets Think Of The Finnish Tourists in Leningrad?". Some Cold War history: "Original Sokos Hotel Viru - check into the legend", "Icarus Films Disco and Atomic War - Trailer" and "Spy Wars with Damian Lewis: The Man Who Saved the World". Chuck did finally act in a Finnish production: "Näin tehtiin Chuck Norris mainokset". This documentary routes to the Winter War and also to that Virginian's interview: "Törni - Sotilaan tarina (A Soldier's Story) English Subtitles". Also, in Fort Bragg: "Lauren Sinnott Paul's surprise" and "Lauren Sinnott Tiina has a Finnish saying". There are Finns in Florida, but from Jacksonville I got nothing. In Sacramento there's a Finnish Hall, I think. This isn't BBQ exactly, but there is meat, fire and even optional bricks used: "Food in Finland part 2: Rosvopaisti hearth oven slow cooking Finnish ground oven cooking pit moose". "Cooking Beef Under The Ground - Rosvopaisti, Thief stew, Juhannus 2021" and "Karoliina A Rosvopaisti". Finally some cooking in sauna: "Suomi-jakso - Gordon kokkaa saunassa I Gordon Ramsayn makuseikkailut" and "Smoking hams in a Finnish smoke sauna".
Thanks for watching!

Great game! I believe Jacksonville is one of the largest cities by land size in the US

This is such great information. Have you played my Finland in the USA map on GeoGuessr?
