Oddities spotted in the news

... y'know, we gotta do something about the confusion between that part of Canada and the city down the street from me.

While you're renaming parts of the USA, please do something about Ontario County, California sharing a postal abbreviation with Ontario (ON, CA).

This seems remarkably poorly thought out.

Yeah, I've already added it as an example to the All The Tropes page "Do Not Do This Cool Thing". Mind you, Ontario has had offramp signs for wineries for years, and they don't seem to have affected the drunk-driving statistics. (Of course, wine isn't consumed the same way that beer is.)
