Online Newspapers: Identify your Locale!

Some of the web sites I visit regularly (drudgereport.com, wind.com, fark.com, etc) often link me to pages on other sites. Sometimes these pages are on a local newspaper's site, and the story may or may not have a byline indentifying the city. But in many, many cases, there is no indication whatsoever of what state or country that city is in. What makes it worse is the ads along the side urging the readers to visit "Historic St. Augustine". Okay, okay, I'll come spend my money in your city, if you'll just tell me where it is!!

So lame. So lame.
