every so often i think about that time when there was that photoset of canadian provinces where edmonton was actually used as the scenic location and people got SOOO mad and complained that alberta wasn't "THAT city", unable to even name it, and that there should be mountains. (I forgot to reblog it so I've lost it but if I see it again...)

anyway, related case in point
