Yes, without context it's just not interesting. I wanted to map the cities, but without state name, quite a few of the cities are ambiguous. For example, MA, MO, and OR all have a city named Springfield.

He started collecting information and inviting contributions after that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tysons_Corner_Communications_T...
