Hints: Road Trip

Getting Started:
Each of these clues identifies a city and something else. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the cities are very constrained right now.
  • What do all the non-city things clued have in common?
  • Maybe there’s another constraint on the city?
Still Stuck:
What do Arizona Iced Tea and a Mississippi mud pie have in common?
Help with a few more clues:
  • Utah Phillips was born in 1935
  • Garfield Heights is a city in Ohio
  • Georgia O’Keeffe was known for painting flowers
Stuck on extraction:
Think about the title of this puzzle, as well as what information you haven’t used yet. The cities came in alphabetical order, so we should probably reorder them somehow.
Still stuck on extraction:
It might help for you to highlight the states used on a map. Only the first letter of each city is relevant.
