I like that the map not only has where I live (Calgary) but the rest of my and my wife's families as well even though we are all spread out - Helena, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Denver, Seattle and Charleston.

I come from Birmingham, England. The picture is from Spaghetti junction, seeing as how a monstrously complex road network of that name (Properly the M6 Junc.6: Gravelly Hill Interchange..)is all that most people know if the City. Good. Keep the good bits to ourselves...

Interestingly enough, there's a simular convergence of roads and highways in Las Vegas called The Spaghetti Bowl. Don't know which one is worse, though the Vegas one is bad enough...

It just occurred to me why our highways are this way. All of these people have a game in common - it's called "Metro", so they get the most points for loops to connect point A to point B...

Yep that was 12 Power Grid maps back to back over two days. Worth doing, but possibly not in such a concentrated burst.

Ooh yes, now a little to the left - my nose is itchy. No, no the other left! Now what colour is 12 supporter badge going to be I wonder?

Actually, I don't live too far from Sheboygan...about an hour's drive. I would've posted PAYDIRT, because I live about a half-hour from Green Bay, WI. I'll wager most football fans have heard of it.
