O'Fallon, Missouri or O'Fallon, Illinois?

Debi,

Illinois is famous for copying names - some have a different pronunciation on though - there's Athens, Cairo, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Freeport, Virginia, Berlin, Salem - just for starters. Don't forget the River you share with Illinois. :)

This reminds me of the blog I wrote about AR and AR.  AR means Arkansas.  AR also is used for Activerain.  Which came first?  Arkansas, of course.  So Activerain stole our initials!  LOL

Debi.. There are a lot of states that have the same names of cities.  Just how close are Missouri and Illinois to each other?  I don't have a map.. and it has been years since I went to school to learn geography... must have failed that class. :)

Debi - I agree that the names can be confusing.  To add another layer of confusion, City of St. Louis and St. Louis County are both counties in Missouri.  And, is it Saint Louis or St. Louis?  Even if is St. Louis, then is it St. Louis City or City of St. Louis?  Activerain or Localism has the same confusion.  Like under City of Saint Louis (the county), it lists places like Pinelawn which are definitely St. Louis County, not St. Louis City.  I have been doing Google keyword research on what tag to use with little or no decisive information.
