Abbottsford?


From the Goofs section for this film:
Errors in geography: In two of the scenes where the reporters are broadcasting in front of the court house, the plaque identifying the building states "Abbotsford Superior Court". Abbotsford is in British Colombia, Canada; the film's setting is Boston, Mass.

A few things:
- The sign on the courthouse actually reads "Abbottsford Superior Court". Note the double T. The name of the city in British Columbia (note the correct spelling of the province) has only one T. They would not misspell a sign on a provincial court building.
- There is no Superior Court in the city of Abbotsford, BC. (If there were, it would be called "Supreme Court" - there are no superior courts in BC.)
- There is more than one Abbotsford in the world.
- There are a number of streets, roads and avenues in Massachusetts using the name.
- This movie was filmed in Quebec, where there is also a town called Abbotsford. They also do not have a Superior Court.

If the sign was made for the movie, which takes place in Boston (does it?), it makes no sense. If it is a sign that is already in place, I cannot find a city named Abbottsford (with the double T) in Quebec or Massachusetts.
The sign is an oddity....
