The "Chicago Streets That Share Names With Well-Known U.S. Cities" game
Name Chicago streets that are either named after or share a name with well-known U.S. cities. Must be exact -- "Jefferson Ave/Jefferson City" doesn't count. The ones I came up with so far:
Chicago
Milwaukee
Madison
Erie
Cleveland
Monroe
Washington
Lincoln
Lawrence
Cicero
Stockton
Dayton
Cleveland
Sacramento
Baltimore
Pittsburgh
La Crosse
Columbus
Dearborn
Green Bay
Buffalo
Albany
Houston
Marquette
Troy
St. Louis
Springfield
