Joel Abrams discovers that Google Maps thinks Arlington's Capitol Theater is really in Boston, but that AOL CityGuide places it in Kyrgyzstan, not far from the Kazakhstan border.

Speaking of Kyrgyzstan (and who isn't, these days?), LJCohen and family are currently hosting a lovely young woman from Kyrgyzstan, and they show off the cool Kyrgyz hats she gave them:
