I’m interested in the American states. A page on Facebook asks the contributors to add where their photo was taken, when, and a general description.

One country, America, above all, will say a town or city, then a couple of letters. Like Houston, Tx. But where is Tx? I guess it’s Texas, but others are more obscure? It’s weird, but sort of understandable I think? Obviously the residents of the states must know where they come from, and other states will learn the abbreviations. But I don’t think they realise that outsiders haven’t got a clue. For example is Wyoming Wy, or Wm or Wg?

Is Iowa Iw, Io or Ia? The question of the initials gives me an idea of where places are? North, South, East, West, Central states? I’m interested enough to ask.
