Some­one pointed out an amus­ing Google maps anom­aly to me today involv­ing two places near and dear to my heart. Here’s the result of a search for “chi­nese restau­rant st. john’s road cam­bridge:”

Trin­ity Street Chi­nese Restau­rant‎ in Cam­bridge, MA?

This may be very con­fus­ing for those who live near Har­vard square — the restau­rant doesn’t exist. But note the phone num­ber… +44 1223 358281. That’s a UK coun­try code. Turns out Google maps is con­fus­ing the St. John’s St., Cam­bridge above with this St. John’s St., Cambridge:

St. John’s Street, Cam­bridge UK

Where there is in fact a chi­nese restau­rant.
