For what it's worth, Grand Parkway's exit on I-10 in East Houston is signed as both SH 99 and Grand Parkway. Funny though, considering it might be Houston's next loop, it's barely a step above being a dirt road. What confused the hell out of me, before I moved to Montrose from New Orleans, was Westheimer -> Elgin and Richmond -> Wheeler, while West Gray and West Alabama became just Gray and Alabama. All that combined with all the one ways and the fact that the Spur messes up the Midtown grid pattern used to mean that as soon as I saw the Midtown street sign logo, I knew that I was hopelessly lost. Now that I live on West Alabama almost at Main, I'm used to it, but when my native Houstonian friends let me drive around Midtown, they're amazed that I know where everything is. I guess after the thousandth time you learn. But I still refuse to drive downtown, cuz that's just crazy talk.
