Every time one of these suburb nightmares gets posted I can never get over the street name conventions. How do you have multiple streets with the same name that don't connect and aren't even near each other
oh god, the bizarre combination of indigenous tribal names, anglo names, and numbered city streets (in the suburbs???) why are we putting N or W in front of the names, when the streets are curved? why are some of the cul-de-sacs avenues, some are lanes, and others are drives?? did we need a N 52nd Dr and a N 52nd Ave?
this place is every delivery driver's nightmare
and you just know they're crappy tippers
One of my favourite Boonta Vista bits is them getting angry at American street naming conventions
West Mohawk Lane, which is to the east of Mohawk Lane West, is not connected to Mohawk Lane West. In fact, West Mohawk Lane isn't even connected to West Mohawk Lane. Similarly, North 52nd Drive is unrelated to North 52nd Avenue. North 52nd Drive and North 53 Drive, you would assume, are running parallel. They are not. North 53 Drive isn't even oriented north-south, it's diagonal.
It's like the topography from some China Mieville novel where earth has been torn and sewn back together through non-Euclidian space
It's like that scene in the pillow fight episode of Community: "The North Cafeteria, named after Admiral William North, is located in the western portion of East Hall, gateway to the western half of North Hall, which is named, not after William North, but for its position above the South Wall. It is the most contested and confusing battlefield on Greendale’s campus, next to the English Memorial Spanish Center, named after English Memorial, a Portuguese sailor that discovered Greendale while looking for a fountain that cured syphilis."
