This city lies in a large prairie running through the center of the United States. It is fairly flat and is one of the largest cities in the world not located on a navigable river. The city was founded in the 1840s as a frontier trading post and has been fostering entrepreneurs ever since. The weather here is painfully hot in July and August with high temperatures in the upper 90s (37 C.) to over 105 degrees (40 C.), but the rest of the year is quite nice. Winter may see temperatures below 10 degrees (-12 C.), but it usually warms back up quickly. Annual precipitation is 33.7 inches (86.4 cm) per year.
A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
If I’d have to guess, I’d say Iowa, around Davenport. I lived in Quad Cities and just south of there during High School years. Can think of worse places to grow up.

Would have said Witchita, but I think it has a small navigable river. Oklahoma City?
Dallas Texas, “Waldo” did say he was on his way to a far, far away place.
Can’t be one of the Quad Cities – they’re on the Mississippi, plus, Iowa gets colder than 10 degrees in the winter. I’d guess OKC, too.
Dallas, TX is the answer. A quick look at Wiki shows: “Dallas is the core of the largest inland metropolitan area in the United States that lacks any navigable link to the sea.”
Crap…how did I miss the “not located on a navigable river”. that’ll teach me to pay attention next time.
