Solution for 25 June cryptic crossword clue

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
