What famous football player briefly had a town named for him?
No takers, so I guess I'll start the week off with a :cheer: Smile

Joe Montana. In July 1993, the tiny town of Ismay, Montana, population 22, changed its name to Joe, Montana, for the football season in honour of the Kansas City Chief's newly signed quaterback. The only U.S. town permanently named for a gridiron star is Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.

In which U.S. president's inaugural parade did the Apache chief Geronimo ride?

The Cowboy State. The bucking horse and rider insignia dates back to WWI, when it was worn by members of the Wyoming National Guard serving in France and Germany.

What is the name of the coffeehouse frequented by the regulars on the sitcom Frasier?

Bonus: How about the popular hangout on Friends?
