Following the announcement of the EC 2011 in Warsaw, Poland, I had an
interesting discussion on the extrala blog, which seems to reveal that
the Warsaw Station card apparently has the wrong picture/location on
the card.
Most people's initial reaction is that the Warsaw Station is in Poland
(obviously). But the canon source material actually refers to the
Warsaw Station in St. Petersburg, Russia (probably Warsaw Wileńska
Train Station). Reference: Nights of Prophecy, Chapter 3: To
Grandmother's House, pg 89-90.
The card art (by Peter Bergting) is clearly of the Polish Warsaw
Station though (Warsaw Central Rail Station - Warszawa Centralna). So
my best guess is that the artist must have made the wrong assumption
while doing research for the art piece.
So I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this interesting
discrepancy (Polish picture for a Russian location). I guess we can
file it away into the long list of amusing faux-pas.

....and there is a subway in New Orleans.
Not all of White Wolf's canon material is accurate.

Hmm, Torn Signpost...

Ah, classic!
Also reminds me of Jesus Alcala (look! I'm in the daylight!). FYI, the
original artwork for Tatu Sawosa also had her in the daylight (but the
art director had Ken Meyer redo the background for an evening look).

More amusement: there's no hyphen in faux pas.

I think you're overlooking the difference between typos and using
novel words correctly.
Not to mention the difference between suppression and expression.
(And the correct spelling of suppressed)
