A developer in Florida was probably really homesick. https://www.crossing.us/intersection/12110431995188_11043201...

Wow, that -entire- neighborhood is named after places in New York: Ithica, Albany, Buffalo, Elmira, Mt. Vernon, Great Neck, Jamestown, Middletown, New Rochelle, Coney Island, Syracuse, Queens, Niagra, Yonkers, Catskill, Cohoes, Westchester

The only streets that aren't associated with New York place are Terita, Faith, and Norwick.

There's also a whole bunch of other NY places in surrounding streets. (Utica, Rye, Troy, Rochester, Corning, Rome, Vassar, etc.)

Really cool! The cool part is pretty much the entire state is covered,from The City to the Hudson Valley to Western NY, to the Southern Tier.

Not entirely sure how the listing for Peachtree and Peachtree didn't find anything in Georgia.

Peachtree Rd, Peachtree Battle, and Peachtree Hills - all within a block or so.

My wife took it as a highly romantic gesture when I sent her the link for our names. So thanks for the easy points!

I tried that but... I showed my husband the map and said "look!" He said

"What? A butcher shop?"

Yes, we intersected at a butcher shop.

The endpoint is throwing 502s now. Looks like they decided to just handle all bad responses with "We couldn't find any intersections..."

True, anything else would've been better - even a 404. Kept me wandering

Where did you end up?

Try again.

Now they're all in Texas. Guess the relevance engine isn't perfect.

Where are you? I tried this from work (physically in Georgia, but through a Texas VPN) and they were all in Texas; then I tried it from home (in Georgia) and they were in Georgia.

Ireland.

We have our share of intersecting roads, or occasionally, one named road that's tree shaped. Leads to google maps telling me to "turn left on the old mill, proceed to the old mill, turn right on the old mill, turn left on the old mill, then turn left on the fairyhouse road." (Finally.) Or developments/estates where the street addresses are literally: "6 The Avenue" or "5 The Close". Confuses the hell out of American databases.
