Say that city name twice in a row and you'll sound like Robin Williams (who would have celebrated a birthday yesterday.)


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I can't believe I have an 'A' for a city that not only I have not played, but doesn't look to have been played in the whole game based on a search.

Xilitla -> Abilene (TX).  From I-35W.  June 5, 2021.

I'm more surprised that I never used an "Abliene" from previous trips (I have several it turns out) and even more so that none of the other players had used one that starts with "A" that's a control city on an I-X0 at its junction with another interstate.

Only for the purposes of this game. In reality, it's part of Norwalk. There are some separate towns with a directional indicator, but this is not one of them.

Oak Hill -> Land O' Lakes (FL).  I-75, while stopped for about 25 minutes as a medical helicopter removed an accident victim from the scene on July 10, 2021.



The VMS message is a bit off.  The actual accident was less than a mile up the road and the closure point even before that.
