In my opinion they are the ultimate evil James Bond scale bad guys. I find these truths to be self evident. Back in my youth, mid-50's, a Monsanto engineer/executive type bought my grandfathers house next door. OK, next door was a third of a mile, but they were neighbors, his kids went to my school, yada, yada, yada. I would listen to him tell the adults about the future Monsanto was planning, and wanted to play a big roll in shaping. To a ten year old kid, it sounded Buck Rogers here we come. And being immersed in agriculture, I knew the food production predictions were incredible, but in the 50's scientists could do... or undo... anything. Oh, and do you know why we don't have flying fuckin' cars? Because Monsanto wasn't interested. ;) |

None have more than 50% of their highways and byways named "street".

No Boulevard in Philly! The Boulevard is the main road through half of town.
And then there's dumb Street Road. Worst name ever |
It's not "The Boulevard" it's Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Boulevard. And it comprises what percent of Philly thoroughfares? :eyebrow:
|
OK, YOU go through town and ask people where "Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Boulevard" is, and I will go through town and ask people where "The Boulevard" is, and we'll see who gets more answers. :D

What? I'm a MAN, I don't ask for directions.... mumble, grumble, where's my snit..
But the point is, one road isn't going to show up on a percentage graph. |

Street road isn't in Philly.

It stands to reason that hilly cities would have more terraces.

Streets in Arlington VA are in alphabetical order going east to west going a-z with one syllable words and then starting over again a-z with 2 syllable words, and beginning with 3 syllable words but running out before they reach the county line. N-S they are numbered. There are a handful of old diagonal and meandering streets that are either "Roads" or "Boulevards."
|
Not really in the same vein, but...
We have South St., and North St., both of which run east-west. And we have East St., and West St., both of which run north-south. I don't think we have a blvd. |
Boston had street builders follow wandering cows. :haha:
