OT(?) - Ironic Street Intersection
I was unfortunately driving around in Ohio last week (my girlfriend's Armpit-dwelling great grandmother was celebrating her 95th birthday) and I discovered this ironic intersection. On a related note, I never realized that there were so many open Blue fans in Ohio. Everywhere I went, I would see the occasional Michigan flag or bumper sticker or shirt. I was surprised; I certainly never see any scarlet garbage laying around here in Michigan.

that in ann arbor, there is a distinct separation between church (st) and state (st)

If Michigan were properly placed on top of the Buckeye sign. Oh well, since its Oohi and everything is backwards I guess I should treat it like opposite world where bottom is better than top.

My guess is that those streets were named intentionally.

Can it be ironic if it was on purpose?
August 30th, 2010 at 3:48 PM ^
The neighborhood takes a serious turn for worst when you make that right onto Buckeye St.

wants to buy the property that makes up that intersection so they can move it.

which was the source of much local merriment back in 1974.

because you always find Buckeyes waiting around this corner in NYC...

While we're on the topic of amusing street signs, who can forget this classic on I-75?

I believe that all of I-75 in Michigan was designed around that intersection. I think some civil engineer said, "Wait - there is going to be an exit on Big Beaver? Well, that's Exit 69! Now, let's plan the rest of this fucking highway."

of Richmond (VA) there is an intersection of Cox and Broad. Not far away is the intersection of Cox and Nuckols. It's nice to have a back-up plan, in case you miss your intended route.

did both.
August 30th, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
of Felch and Hiscock, that one along with Big Beaver Exit 69 MUST have been intentional.

Church street out in chelsea area runs into hell michigan. I also thought that was funny that the perfect time to start our captains meeting while heading to cedar point is a sign before the i80/i90 turnpike on 280 with the 420 highway symbol on it.

Also you'll find Bj's (wholesale club) on the left and Dicks (sporting goods) on the right.

I lived in Sandusky OH for a few years. I would guess it was about 70/30. The further west you went toward Toledo it seemed to gradually increase... East toward Cleveland it seemed to decrease.
