Think You Know Your Geography? These Online Quizzes Put Your Knowledge to the Test!

Do you think that you’re pretty well versed in the world’s geography? Can name all 50 states and their corresponding capitals? Put your geography skills to the test with these fun and educational online games—you just may find yourself stumped somewhere around Eastern Europe!

Shepard Software’s U.S.A. Capitals
This challenging game combines both the state capitals and the state’s physical location in the country to test your geography skills all at once. Players are given a state capital and then asked to choose the corresponding state from a blank map of the U.S., which means that even if you know the right state, you still might not get the answer right.

Capitals of the World
Expand your horizons outside of the country as you attempt to identify all of the countries in the world. Begin by clicking a continent from the game’s colorful world map, and then answer questions based on countries within that continent.

Shepard Software’s U.S.A. States
Once you tire of the state capitals, move on to testing your knowledge of their geographical locations. This game from Shepard Software features a blank map of the U.S., and players must click on the proper location of each state presented.

Have You Tried the Grilled Banana Bread at Buttermilk Cafe?

Buttermilk Cafe is a country-style kitchen specializing in comfort foods just like Mom used to make, from smothered biscuits and gravy for breakfast to fried green tomatoes, chicken and dumplings, and country pot roast for dinner. The dessert menu is filled with cream pies made entirely from scratch, and the unique grilled banana bread is one of the restaurant’s most famous dishes.

Inside, Buttermilk Cafe is much more modern than the usual country restaurant, with stark white walls, comfortable booths and wooden tables throughout the dining area and the occasional rustic decor element to give it a homey feel. While you may have to wait a bit for its beloved weekend breakfast, it certainly pays to slow things down at Buttermilk Cafe.

Buttermilk Cafe is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
