Until a few years ago, I thought Detroit was in Chicago. I knew that Detroit is a city, and that Chicago is not a state, but somehow these two facts did not combine in my cognition and thus the Lions played in Detroit, CHI (yes, I realize state abbreviation conventions require only two letters). To this day I still think of Detroit as being located in the midwest, not in the north, making work at a global travel company very confusing...
