Oh, Is That What Our City Looks Like?
The city council of Birmingham, England, sent 720,000 pamphlets to city residents thanking them for doing so well with their recycling. In big red letters it said “Thank You Birmingham!” splashed across the city’s skyline. Okay, some city’s skyline. It turns out they used a photo of Birmingham, Alabama, by mistake. You’d think they’d know better since it’s not the first time this mix-up has happened. This past January three lawmakers who represent Birmingham—the English one—used a photo of the U.S. counterpart on their website. And just the other day the mayor asked the residents of nearby West Bromwich how they liked living in Mississippi.
