For something a little sillier and fully in the GIS realm - thought of this at work the other day.

Oh, I meant to provide an example.The goal would be that for, something like the boundary of New York State, it could put out something like the following:

"From New York City in the southeast, the boundary extends north and west to roughly Erie, PA before turning northeast along the Great Lakes past Buffalo and Rochester, ending just south of Montreal, Canada."

cont'd

City boundaries are wild. See if you can predict where this boundary is going to go.
Whenever I hear people on the radio talking about how they're undecided because Trump has some good ideas, in their opinion, I think of this old line/article, but our standards are so much lower than before.
This one in Visalia is pretty odd too. I'm not even sure where one might access this property from. The road-looking thing above Crowley Ct is a creek.
Working on a data pipeline related to California's official cities and boundaries data in my new job and came across this single-parcel hole in-between La Mesa, California and San Diego, California. I've seen lots of little portions of counties that cities decided not to annex, but this is the smallest and most confusing one I've seen. Why wasn't this property annexed when the others nearby were?
