Hey there, Scott. I don't know whether you created the page or not, but at any rate, there's something I thought I should share. On the page about Oceanview, Illinois, you or whoever referred to it as a fictional city. Well, it's true, that place doesn't seem to be on very many maps, but I took a class last year with a guy from Illinois, and having seen the movie, I asked him if there was such a place, and he said that there was. You might want to take that into consideration.Garrettk41 03:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I created the page, and I've yet to find any evidence that such a city exists. It doesn't show up via Google search, Mapquest, or in any roadmap (and the Follow That Bird map is fictionalized, and comparing to real maps doesn't reveal anything). The closest I've found is an Ocean View Developing Company in Chicago. So in this case, I'm not sure your friend from Illinois is the best authority, unless he can provide a map or some other evidence, or you're still in contact with him and can double check (has he ever been there, what are the neighboring towns, etc.) -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 04:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
