Ok, I've found a question and seeing as no one else has zoomed in I'll take my turn;
What do the towns of Elbowoods, Kennett, Enfield, Neversink, Butler and St. Thomas have in common?

I have heard of Neversink and know that it was a community in the US that was demolished for a Reservoir scheme. The name has a certain ironic ring to it don't you think?
I am wondering if all the other places have been demolished too?
Indeed. They are all American towns flooded to create reservoirs.
Thanks :)
Which capital city am I describing:
The centre and its environs hold over 13 million people, although it began life as a small village about 500 years ago. It has a comprehensive subway system and even hosted the Summer Olympics during the 1960s.
