Lots of people would think Texas is like that, but I knew better, growing up next to SE TX. Many people would probably deny Texas has swamps and bayous as well.
yeah you know better, but not everyone grew up near TX,
and your faith in the average american is heartwarming, but not reality.

If they think mountains are in Miami, then it must snow in Miami too.

I'm still thinking San Diego might be confused with Miami by some people.

San Diego and Miami can definitely be confused for one another. Although, I do think that Miami has one distinguishable building already, the SE Financial Center.

No it cannot, especially daytime.

You wouldn't confuse them. Other people might. There's a difference, and it has to do with familiarity, not intelligence.

Exactly. Then you compare it to this:


NYC (http://www.flickr.com/photos/imagicdigital/6009558064/ - broken link) by imagic digital (http://www.flickr.com/people/imagicdigital/ - broken link), on Flickr

Even without 1 World trade Center, how many people would recognize Miami first? We all know the answer.
