Show HN: I discovered roads in the US across > 1000 themes

This interactive dataviz I created lets you explore about ~1k different themes I computed by cross referencing popular Wikidata articles against OSM roads.

The framing is a bit deceptive, saying that these roads are "named after" these things, despite the clarification in the about that they may have no relation. This whole thing is a bit busted, the about on each "chapter" only sort of describes what a category entails. Obscure shares the same about as famous.

This feels like a project that was done without much care for the details, considering how many themes are pure nonsense. No acknowledgement of AI in how this was done but it sure smells of it.

Agreed. I chose Robot Names, and it gave me a Mars Orbital Mission for Mom Lane, and Cygnus was a Deke Slayton reference. It seemed more about space and satellites than robots with personalities. And the thumbnail number (over 9000!) did not match the clicked result. And the segmented sections were hard to follow and navigate.

Interesting idea. 1,000 is too many to browse for fun. Maybe expend some human effort and pick a few more interesting ones to feature.

What I saw on the homepage made little sense: "We searched every named street in America for Communicators. 108 names turned up. A rare one we found is Big Bang Court in Washoe County, NV."

My favorite juxtaposition of street names exists in Brooklyn, Indiana, a small town of ~2600 people.

On the south side you face a stark choice: when you leave Home Avenue, you can either head west to Church Street, or east to Hooker Street.

An intentional set that I'm amused by: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GQ5xKJwKtBqut7Cx9

This Street, That Street, and The Other Street in Halifax.
