Boone is a straight shot to Staring and not far from the infamous motel.


It really annoys me that these streets don't change names when they end.

We're on Boone -- off of Highland and Lee. There is no way to reach Kennilworth or Staring from our Boone. It is broken up and you HAVE to take Highland and turn into a totally different neighborhood to reach where Boone "continues". And every time I say I'm on Boone to give people directions, they think of the street close to Staring.

Annoying.

There's nothing wrong with the street where this happened either. I'm not saying it is better or worse than where I am, but damnit change the stupid street name when the street ends.

That's Baton Rouge. Continuous streets change names every few blocks and broken streets do not. I've always found it odd, but not particularly troublesome.

Not so easy to do now.

Property descriptions would have to be changed as well as insurance, car registrations, changing addresses with your utilities, etc, on driver's licenses... the list goes on.

Baton Rouge has the most dumbass street layout ever, where most streets change names when they cross another street. (All but Bluebonnet between Airline and Nicholson)
