I was just thinking that instead of naming the tiles their type, why not give them a name. Instead of just a nameless street, we could have main street, coit ave, frankford ave, marsh lane, etc… Stores could have names too. Call a restaurant KFC. 😛 Call a farm Dodge’s Farm (name of an old family farm near the house I grew up in). I think these names would really add spice to the world. Also naming towns and cities wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
