Q: What do you call a Boston tourist? A: Lost. Similarity is in the eye of the beholder. But Denver is infamous for having many streets whose names are almost the same. You can never know which street someone is talking about until you get to the final St or Ave or etc. For instance in Denver, Colorado you can stand at the intersection of Colorado St and Colorado Ave. However, that notwithstanding, it is nowhere near Boston in being difficult to find your way around.
