The Manhattan Grid extended to every point on Earth

I showed this yesterday at the NYC meetup Hack&Tell and it seems to have blown up since then! Thanks for the post.

My favorite part is that the avenues converge at "Manhattan's North Pole" aka Kazakhstan.

I love the Uzbekistan conspiracy.

Assuming you aren't a troll.

Manhattan - like most US cities have streets/avenues based on a regular grid and numbered consecutively Streets East/West and Avenues North/South.

So you can continue the numbering scheme across the entire world. The angles are due to the fact that the streets are aligned with the island of Manhattan rather than geographic north.

This will greatly simplify trips between NY and my home in MN: "Driver, drop me off at the corner of 6,593 Ave and S 2,265 St."

I live at the corner of 64,779 St and 12,785 Ave.
