   I was just thinking of many real places around the world that The Hardy Boys have visited in the course of their mysteries. I don't think this has been done on here before- or if it's on The Hardy Boys Wiki- but I was thinking it would be fun to try to create a list of all the cities/states/provinces/cantons/counties/countries, etc. that Frank and Joe have been to at some point.

Obviously, Frank and Joe live in Bayport in the United States of America and have solved a number of Mysteries there, including their first one, The Tower Treasure. (I think most fans seem to assume that Bayport is in New York. The 1977-1979 The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries TV show states Bayport to be in Massachusetts.) Since The USA is the home country for The Hardy Boys, I figured we could start there and cover the states and capital and then add other countries. I have filled in a few I knew offhand; please post others I have forgotten. Thanks!

Nice! Thanks for adding those.
I do want to specify that I am just looking for places Frank and Joe actually visited, rather than places that were just discussed at some point.

I've never heard of the Hardy's visiting "Halifax, Nokia Scotia", not heard of Nokia Scotia!

But with Canada they also visited British Columbia in Mystery At Devil's Paw and the Northwest Territories in The Viking Symbol Mystery.  They were also in the Maritimes in The Twisted Claw.

Then they were also in West Germany in The Submarine Caper/The Deadly Chase, and a reunified Germany in THe Emperor's Shield.

Also Australia in The Firebird Rocket and Egypt in The Mummy Case.

They went to New Mexico in The Sign of the Crooked Arrow & WIthout A Trace, and Mexico in The Mystery of the Aztec Warrior.  They were also in Arizona or New Mexico in The Crimson FlameThe Crimson Flame also sent them to Thailand.

Also, Time Bomb had the Hardy's pay a visit to Niagra Falls, Ontario, and they were in Niagra Falls, New York in the revised The Melted Coins.
