[PW] WARNING!! Before directing someone to Centerville, Ohio

[Jeanne Schramm]

  Recently a patron was planning to attend a meeting in Centerville, Ohio,
and asked how far away that is from here (West LIberty, WV). I checked the
index to the very reliable Rand McNally  Road Atlas and then informed her
that Centerville is about 200 miles away (near Dayton).  The next day while
double-checking this info on MapQuest I discovered that there are actually 7
PLACES IN OHIO CALLED "CENTERVILLE!"  --  one of which is about 40 miles
from here.
    Maybe this is common knowledge, but I was not aware that names can be
used multiple times within a single state.
