This was a fun side project while I was in the USA earlier this year.
I've tried walking in as straight a line as possible across several European cities. With their "random" road networks they always throw up interesting challenges, but I was aware that an American "gridiron" city would make things a lot easier. While the ready-made straight lines aren't as interesting to walk as their imperfect British counterparts, I hope this video makes the pursuit more accessible to those who don't want to jump fences or crawl through rivers (see my other videos for plenty of that!)
Here's a link to the spreadsheet I used to compare them all: docs.google.co...
Obviously, the US is a big country with a lot of cities to search, so let me know which roads I missed. I'll pin the comment with highest-scoring road that wasn't in the video.
(And yes, I was there for another coding conference! You can watch the lightning talk I gave: • Lightning Talks - Apri... - unfortunately this one isn't straight-line related)
