When I was growing up in a suburb of Boston Massachusetts I heard a commercial for the Herald Newspaper that ended with the line "Boston Moves to the Herald!" Well I didnt know what the Herald was, or even what a commercial was, so I figured that it meant they were moving the whole city and everyone was going to have to get up and move somewhere else in the state if they wanted to stay in Boston.
