I've been getting confused about the cities in Missouri versus the cities in Illinois. When someone says "O'Fallon", I can't just assume that they're talking about the "O'Fallon" in Missouri. There is also an "O'Fallon" in Illinois. This would be no big deal, except that "O'Fallon" is not the only name that Missouri and Illinois have in common... They both have a city named "Troy", "Springfield", "Columbia"...need I go on..."Eureka", "Farmington"...okay. I'll stop. I actually counted the number of city names that Missouri and Illinois shared, and I believe that it was over 50! I wonder if one state was copying (6 comments)
