Really good pairings here!

Delmar Boulevard - Troost Avenue
Ladue - Mission Hills, Kan.
Forest Park - Swope Park
(no equivalent) - Penn Valley Park
Missouri Botanical Garden (Shaw's Garden) - (no equivalent)
I-270 - I-435
St. Louis County, MO - Johnson County, KS
Hallmark Cards, Inc. - Ralston Purina Company before Nestle bought it
Lewis & Clark Freeway (I-70) - Bruce Watkins Drive (US 71 - maybe future I-49 when the non-freeway segments are filled in)

You were doing pretty good until you got to the last one.

There's really no Philadelphia analogue for Bethesda, whose downtown is more intensely developed than any of Philadelphia's suburban downtowns.

But I will allow that Bethesda is Collingswood on steroids. Or Ardmore with taller buildings.

That's why I included a (?) to mark my uncertainty about the accuracy of the matchup. They aren't all that dissimilar though.
