The original post explaining the methodology

Pittsburgh's lack of a street grid really shines through here. I really think it makes for a fun city, but it can definitely be frustrating at times.

Never would have thought Norfolk was laid out fairly free of cardinal directions as well considering that it's pretty flat. Might be because it goes back to the mid 1600's. I'd wager that places like Boston, Providence, New Haven, and Charleston would be similar.

It's also because of all the water redirecting the grid.

Thanks for that, Ferraris. It's interesting to see it depicted that way. (Although not at all surprising.)
