Can't really blame you for not knowing what state this was in. I've noticed a trend on Internet reporting consistently omitting the state from articles. This makes it more difficult to research, at least at a glance, because many states have cities and towns of the same name.

YES, I find that so infuriating. My husband and I have noticed this on the news as well when reporting about foreign countries. They name the small town but not the state, as in Mexico. As we know Real Journalism is nearly dead.
