coat_of_brown touched on this earlier today. This is kinda my variant.

What is your favorite "they didn't do their research did they" moment in movies or TV?

Mine, I think it has to be the episode of the X-Files (which I am too lazy to go look up at the moment, but I think it's in season 1) that happens, partly, around Lake Okoboji in NW Iowa.

I personally was not aware that there were lovely mountains in NW Iowa.

VI Warshawski has a similar chase scene down the canals.

Very cool chase scene. Just... not practical.

Running Scared tickles me because it was the first time I ever noticed something like that. I mean, I've never been to western Iowa, maybe they do have mountains. Sure, they're not on maps, but what do maps know, anyway? But I take the train in Chicago.

Things like that just add to the fiction part for me. This is an alternate Chicago. It's not a true story because they've changed some inconsequential elements. It's a fairy story. Now shut up and pass me the popcorn. *grin*
