> Hrm. Most of our streets have spanish names that seem to have been named by planners that don't know spanish. Everything is either "Via
something" or "Avenida something". My old house was on Via Escala. To get there you turned on Avenida Empressa and then it was off of Via Mantilla. It's rather silly.

I used to have a hard time navigating downtown Toledo, until someone told me the Presidents ran north-south and the Great Lakes ran east-west. I hadn't even thought to group them that way. Kinda sounds like the box game....
