If you're from Manhattan, not need to expand any further on it's whereabouts.


Bingo. I live in Jacksonville, Illinois. No one has ever heard of Jacksonville,IL. If you say "I'm from Jacksonville", they assume it's Jacksonville, Florida. And of course, the nearest city of any size is Springfield, IL. But you can't say "I'm from Springfield" either, as there are Springfield's everywhere. ;\)
