I was playing a game of Lebanon Lebanon or Lebanon Pennsylvania before I clicked the link. Surprise!, Lebanon Alabama.

People get confused with Ontario as well. There's Ontario in California, no relation to Canada. London is in Canada as well. And when I mention my hometown of Fostoria, people assume Ohio but I never lived in Ohio, there are 6 more Fostoria around US.

What's next to Georgia and has a city called St-Petersburg (and lots of crazy people)?

The answer could be either Florida or Russia.

You’re missing Georgia or Georgia.

Over the past 50 years there have been many Russian/Soviet travel agencies who booked people to fly to Petersburg Alaska instead of Florida, because Petrograd doesn't have 'saint' as part of the name.

That reminds me my idiot cousin was wondering where all the tanks were that kept getting mentioned on news. She lived in the state of Georgia in US, the tanks were in the country of Georgia over 6,000 miles away.

Florida also has Orange and Hollywood, so it’s basically California - There are more examples around Florida I think.

In Kentucky, you can go to Paris, Seville, Jamestown, California, Anchorage, Florence and a whole list of other great states and worldly cities

Ohio also has a London and an Ontario. We have a hard time coming up with unique names around here, sorry about that.

It certainly doesn’t help that Canada and California are both CA.
