    All of North America is weird like that. I live within an easy drive of Stockholm, Kandahar, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Aberdeen, Hague, and Moose Jaw.

      I’m Scottish and once or twice a year will drive through the original Dallas. These days it’s just a single row of about two dozen houses (it has the remnants of a medieval castle though).

      Must have been pretty trippy living there in the 80s when one of the biggest shows on American and British TV was Dallas.

        Oh, I didn’t even mention the towns we have that are named after much smaller places. Our Calgary is much bigger than the original, and I also live near a Colonsay, which while tiny is about double the size of the one in Scotland.
