What happens if there are multiple cities with the same name. Maybe this is a US specific problem, but there are many states with cities of the same name from another state. As a few examples:
Salem, OR and Salem, MA
Portland, OR and Portland, ME
Springfield, IL and Springfield, MO
Dallas, TX and Dallas, GA
- MengerSponge 10mo agoDon't even get started on American cities named after world cities: Paris, Munster, London, Toledo, Memphis, Athens,...
- tokai 10mo agoEvery country has those. There was some that found it very funny when Russia occupied New York last year (or last year again?).
- netsharc 10mo agoEven the name "New York" is a reference to an existing city...
- MengerSponge 10mo agoBut they had the decency to append "New". New Birmingham? New Athens? New Madrid? These are cyberpunk city names.

- originalankur 10mo agolol, I didn't even think of it. May be I should start taking country too. Edge case :-p
- fat_cantor 10mo agoIf you just type "Salem" for the city, it just picks one and goes with it. If you type "Salem, Oregon" vs "Salem, MA", it gives the desired result (at least for the cases I've tried), and then uses your input text as the caption.
