If you're using Boost, it doesn't render spoilers well.

Correct, but looking for a more specific answer. What about these are all connected beyond simply Amtrak.

Susaga@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Your tag got a little messed up, but yeah. There is something more specific about those 5 specific ones if you want bonus points.

lemonmelon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Sorry, since Boost doesn't see fit to handle spoiler tags, I have to use them on faith that they're working.

As for the deeper connection:

::: spoiler guess It's either they were all mob casinos or something to do with the Rat Pack. I'm going to guess it's probably the latter, because the former isn't very special. Ocean's 11, maybe? Is that the list they were going to hit? :::

Minnesota is a state, not a city, but anyway, I suspect a more specific category is intended. At risk of giving it away, add to the list: ::: spoiler spoiler Winnemucca :::
