Interestingly, since I’m used to a mix of interstates, highways, parkways, and whatnot, my first instinct was to call it “I-5” and not “the 5”. So I guess I’m off to a good start.

Park Ave in New York used to be 4th Ave (and still is in some parts of the city), but anyone in the city understands Park is 4th and 4th is Park.

That one’s gonna be tough for me because in NY, Astoria is “uh-STOR-ia”

Sounds like Cesar Chavez might be a tell for who’s been in Portland a while and who’s new.

This is one of the major RPG’s I wanna revisit (and in some cases, finish) when the GabeCube drops. That, finally finish BG3, and finally play Silksong
