  Yep. Looks like College Station, Texas.

    Jfc yeah name a road after your state.

    Although there’s an Uruguay Avenue in Montevideo so 🤷

      I like the Moscow/Saint Petersburg system, wherein they both have avenues/highways named after the other city, leading to said city.

        Most of New England is named that way too. The problem is that the same road ends up with 2 names depending on which direction or end you are in.

        Got luck getting an ambulance dispatched to the right place (in my unfortunate experience).

      I mean people usually suck at naming roads. Water St is often where the water tower is, Railroad St runs parallel to the railroad, Fish Hatchery Road is where the fish hatchery is, and then there’s the tons of roads named after specific families who lived on the land they run through. Granted it’s way less dark than the countless cities that are named after the people/natural features that were killed when founding the cities. So many places are named after who and what was once there…

        this all seems sensible to me
