For those of you pounding your heads into your computer screens because you're having a hard time finding the location of a town...try this web site: http://www.mit.edu:8001/geo All you need to do is type in the name of the town and it will list every town in the United States with that name (be forewarned that towns with a name like Columbia tend to return LOTS of possible locations!). It will even give you the county. The site also has links to two other sites that provide the same service. Its very easy to use. Esther Doyle Read
