This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Hmm... Then maybe I'm full of shit.
I wonder why there's such a drastic change between those states then. And it seems like there's a clear line where it falls apart, so I chalked it up to party influence.
Geography, like others have already told you.
It’s like the Midwest where the land is flat and everything was planned out on a map ahead of time, is laid out in a grid.
However anywhere with mountains, meandering rivers, earlier settlement before map planning, is laid out by settlement patterns strongly influenced by natural features
I think it's a rural vs. urban thing mostly.
