    In the UK we put pubs on most corners just to make directions easier.

    Left at the Dog and Duck, go past the Swan and Tomato, and it’s first on the right after the Nonce and Swallow.

      Ok, I was fully prepared to believe that the Dog and Duck, and Swan and Tomato were real pubs… Then I got to that last one, and I don’t think even British humor would square with that last one.

      That’s pretty much how they navigate in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia. There are technically streets and building numbers… somewhere in the utility bills. But people instead use logos on buildings to navigate, which are abundant and prominent because who wouldn’t want an entire street be referred by their brand name.
