In Arrow. Starling City = detroit if 1/2 of it was upper East side NY. It's reminding me of a Robin Hood theme... :D See, I'm still seeing it as something in the SF Bay Area or Seattle. The former because that's where it is in the comics, the latter because it clearly shoots in Vancouver and there's only so much they can do to cover that.

But I digress...It's hard to take it seriously when they just namedrop cities with the fakest sounding names. Coast City? Really? They changed Star City to Starling City but they leave Coast City and Central City intact?
