Well, one of my pet FR peeves are headlines like "Violence in Greenville!" when there are not a few Greenvilles in the US.

Sometimes links even go to TV stations which give no indication of their state.

I think the state should appear in parentheses in the title..."Violence in Greenville! (Miss)"

Agreed.

My favorite example was an episode that took place at "Columbus High School, just off the Interstate".

No link, no nothing.

Reminds me or a New Mexican giving directions... “Turn left at the sleeping dog...” and you know where they’re talking about.
