Moscow is a hamlet in East Ayrshire in Scotland. London is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada along the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. Paris is a city and county seat of Lamar County, Texas, United States. Glasgow is a settlement in the Nickerie District of northern Suriname, about eight kilometres from the district capital, Nieuw Nickerie. And so on… But in doing my “research” - in Wikipedia! - I was amused to read: "Following a tradition of American cities named "Paris", the city commissioned a 65-foot (20 m) replica of the Eiffel Tower in 1993 and installed it in the square. In 1998, presumably as a response to the 1993 construction of a 60-foot (18 m) tower in Paris, Tennessee, the city placed a giant red cowboy hat atop its tower. The current tower is at least the second Eiffel Tower replica built in Paris; the first was constructed of wood and later destroyed by a tornado.” Gordon - been on this planet for a while now.

BTW is that Estonia, Europe?
