Hi Aaron, The short answer is that the LocationCriterionService returns suggested locations given your input, and those suggestions may occasionally include some seemingly off-topic results. For the input "Abbeville, Alabama" I wasn't able to get the behavior you're seeing, so it may have been a temporary issue.
