Damn, and it isn't even close to worst
The Washington ones are funny because they’re all named after George Washington because “he traveled near that location” but half of them are like “nah he really didn’t do that”
Just have to get people to call Washington, D.C. just "DC". My high school went to a band festival in Indianapolis and when people asked where we were from (especially the east side schools) we'd have to clarify that we're from the state of Washington and not DC.
There's also the added bonus that WA is also Western Australia, so I always have to double-check whenever it's mention in headlines
I just assume that whatever is happening in WA is also happening in WA. Makes the world seem much more magical
could this be considered a cult of personality?
Rome wasn't built in a day
When in Rome do as the Romans do
Rome if you want to, Rome around the world
We should have original names like Cologne, the city yhe residents just forgot to name.
Missouri has "Versailles" but it's pronounced "Ver-sails" instead of "Ver-seye" :)
That’s terrible. I like it.
Rome if you want to, Rome around the world
Thats rooky numbers compared to the number of Villeneuve in France.
Well, at least most of those have an original suffix to give them identity.
There is even one in Aosta Valley lmao
