Confused San Franciscans?
Anyone else from San Francisco play this game and get confused at all the mixed up names (or names of streets and places that just don't exist)? The artwork was nice enough, but half the time it looked like they were of New Orleans, not any place that has ever existed in cold and windy San Francisco.

Obviously some of it was fantasy and a few places were true to the City, but where is Circus Square and why does it have a Subway?
Why is there a Subway instead of a BART or MUNI station?
Why do Chicago "L" trains run in said Subway?
Where is Painted Lady Street (Steiner, I guess)?
Where is Rodeo Ave?

Those are just the few I remember off the top of my head.

I still liked the game, but I definitely scratched my head a few times, wondering where the artist got their ideas for what locations should look like.

The protagonist calls the city "Frisco," which is a city in Texas. Maybe I just got the location all wrong ;).

Yeah, I'm from the Bay and this definitely felt like a version of San Francisco as imagined by someone who maybe took a trip there once. I was LOL'ing at how Adam zipped his motorcycle down the traffic-less streets. Still found it enjoyable though.

Also, you can immediately tell someone is not from the city if they call if Frisco or -- worse -- "San Fran" (which I think Adam says a couple times in this game, if memory serves). Real Bay heads just call it "the city" ... but I suppose such a vague nickname could be confusing to outsiders.
The "Frisco" had me rolling. Sounds too similar to Fresno.
