    Eagleton's Location

    From a deleted Reddituser:

    Episode 2x06, "Kaboom," states Eagleton is two towns over. However, the show connects these towns.

    From Redditoru/callen6:

    Mark Brandanawicz gives Leslie park plans at the end of season 2. Later, in season 5, Leslie announces an emergency: no plans for the park (now Pawnee Commons) means no building without a planner.

    Ann's Living Situation

    From Redditoru/HandSewnHome:

    During the Morningstar incident, Leslie confronts Ron in the flashback. He says Ann hasn't lived in that house for five years. That scene happens in January 2015. Ann left in January 2014, so she lived there only one year.

    From Redditoru/FriedSunshine:

    Ron lies a few times in early seasons, even though he claims to hate lying (and skim milk) in season 5. He lied to Mark Brendanaquits about his workshop meeting code and to a process server asking if he was Ron Swanson.

    Ben's Camera Anxiety

    From Redditoru/FakeMurasaki:

    I thought Ben had social anxiety about cameras and became a goof based on earlier episodes. Yet, in a recent episode, he acts very competent on the Judge Perd show, destroying the opposition with a strong speech. Perhaps some episode cured this trait? I felt weird that nobody mentioned his anxiety.

    From Redditoru/Sayse:

    Jerry/Gary is called Gerald by his mom in her diary. I think this happened in the time capsule episode.

    Councilman Howser appears without his suit jacket because the heat is set to 90F. The next shot shows him in the background wearing his suit jacket.

    From Redditoru/PaperClipOD:

    A recent episode, episode 4 of this season, showed Leslie playing a tape to annoy Ron into talking. She said she would play Jerry's choice, but he was already known as Terry. Perhaps the mix tape being from 2007 influenced her.

    From Redditoru/agentofTARDIS1963:

    In the Season 1 Finale, Marlene Knope stated Leslie spends time at the Pawnee Library. Then Tammy happened...

    From a deleted Reddituser:

    In the first season, I cannot recall the episode, but it was one of the first few. Leslie briefly discussed Eagleton candidly. Then, maybe a season later, she started hating them completely.
