London, Ontario

"While I was in London last weekend-"
"What! You went to London?!"
"No, London Ontario."
"Oh." (wanders off)
It's one of those unfortunate places that don't have a name that stands alone, like Athens, Georgia. At least if you come from Portland most people would expect to need the clarification because one doesn't massively overshadow the other.
Youll never be able to tell anyone a story about LondonOntario, because by the time they realise it's not about someplace cool you've lost their interest. The only worse place to be from would be Paris, Ontario.
