The American Flag on a Canadian bill is a myth. The flag that was thought to be American is actually the Red Ensign. Just fyi!
I wish I got paid to read the phone book!
I'm surprised that Arlington wasn't on the list of names. Just kidding even though I've been told there is an Arlington in every state. I was raised in Arlington, AZ. Those other town names did seem very common to everyplace I've ever been! Interesting facts!
