As a kid watching Miami Vice, except for a few external shots I was like “Umm… that’s not miami…”
And the few shots that were kind of just had Sonny and Rico walk-talking past buildings that were like eight blocks apart from each other in the same conversation
The amount of cultural energy Americans have put into the old west cowboy era is amazing when you realize it only lasted 25 or 30 years, between the Civil War and the 1890s. All the classic westerns are set in that brief window of time. I think many people have the impression that whole generations lived and died during that era.
Good point. To be fair they’re also celebrating a culture that was in place for quite a while before the actual war, which the war was trying to preserve.

the traitor south lasted shorter than the reign of the Playstation 2 and they build statues and run social clubs about it still

Vancouver people must have the opposite problem. Scene is in Brooklyn, NY or some random Midwest city.
Vancouver dude: Uh…that’s 3 blocks from here…
