Airports, Redux
Although it's probably relatively unrelated to my schizophrenic experience two weeks ago of leaving one Ottawa airport on Saturday and landing in a completely different one the following Wednesday, there are apparently some
serious map issues in the new Ottawa Airport:
Officials at the Ottawa Airport have flown into damage control after a visitor noticed that large display maps in the new terminal have redrawn the United States, putting Atlanta in Alabama and Washington, D.C., next to North Carolina.
Oddly, in my experiences, Canadians seem to know the US much better than the US knows Canada. That's either due to the fact that many Canadians I deal with are in the midst of the Green Card process, or because the airport hired a particularly lame company to do the maps. Or both.
