If you're like me, your first thought was, "wait, how did they tile a sphere with hexagons?" And then you notice the pentagons. I think it's actually a Golderg icosahedron, which is the dual of a geodesic sphere. (And which, incidentally, would have made the Well World map way less stupid.)
It kind of feels like my "Splodesic" screen saver came to life!
I did not know about this 1928 SFDPW proposal to extend The Panhandle. I say better late than never! Bulldoze Safeway!A proposal to extend the Panhandle Park to Market Street followed the Wiggle route exactly, but without the wiggling. The plan called for demolition of houses to allow a straight route.
Update: Apparently the Panhandle was a street at the time, so this would have been basically a ground-level freeway, which is not at all what I had in mind!
