NE town
used to be nothing unusual (10)
Solution
– Washington
This
is one where you build up the answer from the second part of the clue and then,
if you were me, had to check whether Washington was actually a town in the
North East. And it is, in Connecticut.
"used
to be" = was
"nothing
unusual" is the letters in "nothing" scrambled up ie an anagram.
Was
+ hington = Washington
