re: cardinal directions, names of suburbs, things that are self-explanatory

dear sir:

you give the location of your report as "west lake, ohio". you refer to the emergency room at st. john's west shore hospital. does it really make sense to turn around and describe westlake (that's one word, by the way) as "an eastern suburb of cleveland"?

nicole.

actually, east Kendall is an area of Kendall, a suburb of Miami.

Anyway, you see my point. I don't know what crack the reporter is smoking.
