Just don't read "Last Exit to Brooklyn"

Growing up in the Wisconsin, my opposing visions of New York City came from
Woodie Allen and Taxi Driver. Interestingly, in 'Annie Hall' Allen visits
Wisconsin, but his vision of the state didn't resemble anything I'd seen.
And Annie, who's supposed to be a Wisconsinite, mispronounces the state name.
At least, she doesn't pronounce the word 'Wisconsin' the way a native would say it.
Upon hearing the scene where Annie Hall first tells Woodie that she's from
'Chippewa Falls Wisconsin,' a native should know that neither Annie Hall nor
Diane Keaton is from Wisconsin. In fact, the specific pronounciation
she uses is a big non-no to many natives, with some perceiving its use as
a slight.
