@misty I will never not be confused about how Vancouver is across the border from Portland and not across the border from Vancouver

@bcj We *should* have neighbouring Vancouvers. Warring Vancouvers. We could have a three-way rivalry with Vancouver Island

[bcj@friend.camp]

@misty Oh good call on including Vancouver Island. Maybe Washington wanted to maximize the Vancouver Uncertainty Zone after it saw how confusing Which Portland could be

@bcj @misty Fun fact: Vancouver BC was named in 1886. Vancouver WA was named in 1825

@darius @misty Sorry Misty, you're gonna have to rename your city to Vancouver 2. Or call it all Richmond and hope nobody from Virginia notices

@misty I used to work for the US government, our system considered Canada and Mexico to be US states, it's okay
