I found this on the web for you and a link you may find interesting.\n\nActually, the largest single parking structure in the United States (and second largest in the world after the one at Pierson Airport in Toronto, I believe) is at Detroit's Metropolitan Airport with something like 11,500 spaces. \n\nAnd, the tallest in the world was the one at the Carew-Netherland complex in dowtown Cincy. It was demolished in the late 80's. It stood 342' tall and contained 27 floors. Here it is in the Carew-Netherland complex. It's the red building just left of the tallest in this photo:\n\nhttp://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?...ttach=783;image\n\nThere is also an automated one still standing in Chicago, I believe, that is over 20 stories, as well. Most of them are historic. The Carew-Netherdland one was constructed in 1931.\n\nParking Garages at Urbanplanet.org\n\nhttp://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20939

Most of the immigrants that came through Ellis Island were European. It shifted from Northern Europeans (English, Irish, Germans) to Southern Europeans (Italians, Serbs, etc.) over time. \n\nAngel Island in San Francisco saw an influx of Asian immigrants.

The largest US city in area is Juneau, Alaska, which covers 3,108 square miles.\n\nLocated 1829 km from Brisbane, 883 km from Townsville and 356 m above sea-level, Mount Isa proudly claims to be the largest city in the world; a fact born out by its accreditation in the Guinness Book of Records. The argument is that the city extends for 40 977 sq. km [15,822 sq.mi.]

Since my son just did a project about it, I can tell you it's the smallest state in the U.S., it's not an island but it HAS islands, including Block Island which was possibly the inspiration for the state being named after the Greek Island of Rhodes.\nIt's about 20 miles across, east to west.

That is the Cross Island Chapel in Oneida, New YOrk....\n\nSmash-cut to the new Millennium. The World's Smallest Church, Cross Island Chapel, still sits in the center of a pond on the northern edge of town. A small billboard near the road details everything you need to know: Built in 1989. Floor area 51"x81" (28.68 square feet) Seats 2 people. Non-denominational. "Dedicated as a witness to God."

During the Spanish-American War, the U.S. fleet attacking Santiago retreated to Guantánamo's excellent harbor to ride out the summer hurricane season of 1898. The Marines landed with naval support, but required Cuban scouts to push off Spanish resistance that increased as they moved inland. This area became the location of U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, which covers about 45 square miles (116 km²) and is sometimes abbreviated as GTMO or "Gitmo".  By war's end, the U.S. government had obtained control of all of Cuba from Spain.
