Well, Velke Slemence/Mai Selmenci on SKUA is a divided village 1 hour appart. In fact they appeared years and worlds appart. Offcourse today they do not form a practical village, as they village people cannot pass their, and the Slovakian require a visa to go to UA. This village was visited during GEEBE 2002.

ahh no this is a novel quest here all right yet i think it may prove quixotic or at least very difficult to fulfill because all the zone deviations that do occur in the usa are precisely to synchronize with the nearest major marketplace thus any population center of any regional consequence is very unlikely to be divided into 2 zones & would be quite a marvel but courage because you may find such a place between 2 larger cities & i would love to see someone make this interesting point or maybe the most interesting such question would be not whether there is such a city since i suppose something of some size could be found but rather what is the largest american city in 2 time zones maybe not a bad question worldwise either for that matter --- In BoundaryPoint@yahoogroups.com, "Jesper Nielsen" <jesniel@i...> wrote: > I was looking for a time zone divided town in America, but didn't find anything yet. > > Maybe somebody else already did look for the same? > > Jesper > ----- Original Message ----- > From: acroorca2002 > To: BoundaryPoint@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 4:01 PM > Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Re: US time zone borders > > > glad to see you weighing back in on this good old question peter > & delighted by your new finds & observations too > > clearly not only states but counties too can & do split into > different time zones > & no matter whether they do so town by town > or by some other governmental or nongovernmental means > because > as we think we have already seen around apalachicola > the line can be both very arbitrary & very fickle > > & this is so not only because of a lack of clear standard definition > but also because of the various local adoptions or nonadoptions > of daylight savings time > yes a whole nother can of worms on top of the first can > > but i have noticed that in all such fuzzy areas people manage to > cope by simply distinguishing fast time from slow time > > clocks are sometimes even labelled to that effect > > & some people even wear 2 wristwatches > effectively distinguishing them as right ahead & left behind > > > of course there are endless variations & supposed anomalies > but the time changes i find most fun to contemplate are the very > few in the entire world > like the progression between the falkland islands & argentina > that have become totally reversed > > yes thats west to east rather than east to west > > --- In BoundaryPoint@yahoogroups.com, "Peter Smaardijk" > <smaardijk@y...> wrote: > > For those who thought crossing a time zone border was easy... > > > > > http://www.thelastresortoutfitter.com/whitewaterrafting/pic-timezo > ne- > > 1.htm > > > > (Somewhere on the Salmon river in Idaho, near Riggins.
