Count it up

Everything here counts records. Where a count would need a fact nobody published, the page says so instead of estimating it.

One room publishes a dinner price we could read — 3 of 29. The rest print no prices online, or print the menu as a picture. Closing that gap takes a phone call each.

Two people ordering the cheapest and the dearest thing on the one fully published list spend $5 and $785 before the Picon, and the Picon at that bar is $8.

How far apart

Closest pair of towns holding rooms in different states: 0 miles. Widest pair anywhere in the set: 693 miles — Chino to Boise. Both computed from town centroids, which is why they are given to the mile and not the yard. Three states, one migration, and a day's drive between most of it.
