Gotta ban Brazil nuts from all the 57 states.
Black Hills of South Dakota...gotta go!
The Black Rock (Black limestone) at Buffalo was pretty famous. I believe it was blown up for a canal about 1820. The district still retains the name.

Outstanding, thank you.
Just plain stupid.

And, of course the answer in Mad Madison is an unequivocal, Yes.
Cone crushers, not so much. I’ve heard the horrible term used by guys on mine road crews, too, and not that far in the past.
“How many blacks in Madison in 1920?”
About 50, just enough to haul that big rock to campus./sarc
