I sometimes wonder if the same people named the streets in EVERY city in NW Ohio.

Findlay Road in Lima, Lima Avenue in Findlay.....ghack! Even better were county roads...the same road might be County Road 12, Township Road 18, and Marion-Gallion Road.
Do our Aussie and Euro friends have nightmarish road names/systems? |
Still having nightmares driving in the US:
Since western Ohio, southern Michigan were settled about the same time (turn of the 19th century, right?) they were influenced by the current popular terms and names--Rev War generals who influenced the region (Wayne), war heroes (Marion), great statesmen (Franklin), directional roads (Detroit, the-way-to)--not just roads but towns, townships, and counties, too.
Have you tried navigating in the great state of Delaware? They don't seem to use the same logic in displaying route signs and junction indicators. Luckily, it's a small state and if you get lost, you don't have to travel far from the other end to where you should have been going.
