there was two guys who were tasked with creating the street layout in Seattle, when it was being established. They were notorious for hating each other. they split the downtown in half and so to this day, half of downtown works one way and the other half works another.
Pike and Pine Streets are the mid point and even today you can see that division that they created
of course I bastardized the story but if you want to learn about it, the two guys are Arthur Denny and David Maynard. The two that hated each other so much that even in their day it was legendary. The phrase "skid row" was a byproduct of their work.

I’m bad enough at city builders before you start adding wild animals and bandits

It fits the theme of the meme, but is it actually any good? The reviews say it's buggy abandonware.
