When I was in sixth grade, our science teacher had us go bird watching every school day and document the birds we'd saw.
Eleven-year-old me immediately became obsessed with red-breasted nuthatches. To this day, when I see one, I'll yell out to my wife, "Look! A red-breasted nuthatch!"
(It's actually the intersection of "Don" and "Moscow". But judging from the other street names here, "Don" was probably intended to be the river in Russia.)
It seems to have trouble with street names that don't start with the search string. So it didn't find the corner of Antonio and Banderas, maybe because it's "Avenida de las Banderas".
Nearby Antonio and Oso Parkway was no problem, though.
I think it is cute that the Amazon adverts that is on the side of the screen leverage the names you entered into the search bar. Quite clever actually.
I wonder how a simple site like profit on a mobile ad, I assume it's only good on certain bumps of viral traffic and even then would get around 300 a month. If it's doing well then I need to pump out some simple mobile sites
I can't tell if there's an intersection of Church and State. All the top results at https://www.crossing.us/intersections/church/state (for me) have Church Street/Road intersecting with State Highway X or similar.
I stumbled across an amusing sequence of streets in Brooklyn, Indiana. When you leave Home Avenue, you can go one block west to Church Street, or one block east to Hooker Street.
I tried to search for something I could take as a cosmic sign, inputting my girlfriend's name and then my own. Nada. Zippo. Zilch.
We were however eating in a restaurant last year, a pizza place where people scribbled on the walls in marker, kind of an added character thing. Above my girlfriend's left shoulder were our names in faded writing, dated 4 years prior. We do not have fairly common names, so I'll take that as my sign.
Anyway, I digress. This is pretty cool and I have sent it along to my friends.
Good question...I would say a positive sign. Although faded, the names were still there four years later — kind of like how initial infatuation fades but hopefully the deeper love stays strong?
That's hardly uncommon. Up near Calgary they went big on planned developments. If you lived in oaktree then you would come in on Oaktree Road, turn off on Oaktree lane, take the corner at Oaktree Place, and then turn on your street, Oaktree circle.
Mail got misdelivered quite frequently in that area, often because the people addressing it weren't paying enough attention.
Anecdotally that seems very common in the suburbs of Atlanta. We're lazy about our street names here. I live at X Road and X Court (for some value of X) and that's not the only intersection like that in my subdivision. If I had a good data set I'd check if it's actually particularly common here or if I just noticed it since I moved here.
Here in Seattle there is an intersection between Belmont Avenue and Belmont Place, two blocks away from the intersection of Bellevue Avenue, Bellevue Place, and Bellevue Court. You might think that such an improbable intersection would be located within the city of Bellevue itself - but no, that's across the lake, ten miles east.
Where are you? I tried this from work (physically in Georgia, but through a Texas VPN) and they were all in Texas; then I tried it from home (in Georgia) and they were in Georgia.
We have our share of intersecting roads, or occasionally, one named road that's tree shaped. Leads to google maps telling me to "turn left on the old mill, proceed to the old mill, turn right on the old mill, turn left on the old mill, then turn left on the fairyhouse road." (Finally.) Or developments/estates where the street addresses are literally: "6 The Avenue" or "5 The Close". Confuses the hell out of American databases.
I'm honestly kinda fed up with sites that prompt me to share my geolocation while they load. Why should I have to clear a prompt before accessing the site? And it clearly works well without knowing my location, so why make the prompt something everyone has to go through?

There are many, many rude-sounding Latin names.

It does not exist, or maybe it exists, but only in superposition: https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Heisenberg/Schr%C3%B6d...

Then again, it doesn't have a problem with the San in "San Antonio Avenue"

I read a joke that went: In Ann Arbor, separation of Church and State is about three blocks.

Who would have thought that only one would exist in...Memphis.

So thanks for the easy points!

Maybe a reach.
"What? A butcher shop?"
Yes, we intersected at a butcher shop.

But still 0

Edit: Misread, I thought you meant there weren't any results, not even in Georgia.
The best I could do is "Peach" and "Peach Tree" for GA results.

Peachtree Rd, Peachtree Battle, and Peachtree Hills - all within a block or so.
