[cooperation-wg] redundant geography lessons

Moscow is a hamlet in East Ayrshire in Scotland.

London is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada along the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor.

Paris is a city and county seat of Lamar County, Texas, United States.

Glasgow  is a settlement in the Nickerie District of northern Suriname, about eight kilometres  from the district capital, Nieuw Nickerie.

And so on…

But in doing my “research” - in Wikipedia! - I was amused to read:

"Following a tradition of American cities named "Paris", the city commissioned a 65-foot (20 m) replica of the Eiffel Tower in 1993 and installed it in the square. In 1998, presumably as a response to the 1993 construction of a 60-foot (18 m) tower in Paris, Tennessee, the city placed a giant red cowboy hat atop its tower. The current tower is at least the second Eiffel Tower replica built in Paris; the first was constructed of wood and later destroyed by a tornado.”

Gordon - been on this planet for a while now. But still learning! ;-)
