I realize that the logic to interpret generic locations is not
guaranteed, but it works so often that this seems to be something that
would be good to correct.  When I use "The Kennedy Center" as an
address parameter for any geocoding api (for example:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=The%20Kennedy%20Center&sensor=false
)

The first address returned is in Michigan - and none of them are what
you would think, which is The John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts  2700 F St NW, Washington, DC 20566.

Even when we add DC to the query string, and then F St - the "most
logical" answer isn't even in the mix.

Other generic locations like Yankee Stadium, Spaceneedle, etc. work
great.

Got to think this is an issue that could/should be corrected in the
Google database.
