I posted this in another thread, but if you click on White Castle, LA in Google Maps, then you get  this...  (https://www.google.com/maps/place/White+Castle,+LA+70788/@30.1593379,-91.1670611,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x862154dfdea93545:0x5cc013f2fe763e12!8m2!3d30.1699144!4d-91.1470413)

I see burgers and fries. Isn't that normal for White Castle?

Well White Castle, LA doesn't have a White Castle franchise in actuality (in fact, the closest one is probably in Nashville, an approximate 600-mile trip).

My bad, didn't notice that it was a town named White Castle. Clicked the google link, expecting something crazy for a White Castle restaurant, only to see burger and fries.

It's only one photo.  Just report it as being inaccurate for the location.  Problem solved.

The cover image for the Memphis and Arkansas Bridge (I-55 over the Mississippi at Memphis) is... The Hernando DeSoto Bridge (the nearby I-40 crossing).

That just looks like the banks of any river near a mill town to me. All you need is a guy with a BMI of 16 wearing a Godsmack t-shirt and you've got the whole picture.

You're likely getting the same one as me and vdeane. The view of the river in the background (mentioned in SectorZ's comment) isn't visible until you click to enlarge it.

Understandable, now that I look at it again! I might have thought the same thing had I not enlarged it before making my original comment.
