When I was in elementery school I had a book that explained the three branches of the US government. There was a map of the United States that showed pictures representing each branch. For the Executive Branch it showed the White House in a circle on New Jersey and Pennsylvania. For the Legislative Branch it showed a picture of the Capitol on Virginia. And for the Supreme Court it showed a picture of the Supreme Court Building on Ohio. Ever since then I always picture the Supreme Court meeting in Ohio. Although now I know it meets in Washington, I can't shake the image of the court being in Ohio.
