Roads of the Presidents

Yesterday, I was on John Tyler Hwy and today I've been on Monroe and Jefferson Parkways. You think they could be a little more creative with the names. Oh, that's right. Those dudes really were from around these here parts.

Speaking of signs, my maps are good but they list the roads by number such as SR 618. Only problem is when you ask for directions noboby knows the road numbers they just know the common name.

    Same thing in Philly. I remember calling Lancaster Ave. (or the 'Main Line') Route 30, and a co-worker said: "You must not be from around here." I said: "No, I am from around here, but that's the Route #, which changes names several times. Isn't it easier just to call it Route 30?" She looked at me like I had two heads.
