      Pretty sure that’s Salt Lake City, Utah, US.

      Soooo… the f*ing Mormons. They wanted people to know where they were in relation to the center of their blessed town, which is of course where the main tabernacle (church) is.

        It’s actually Mountain Home, Idaho. I have no idea who came up with that system. When I lived there 20 years ago they were talking about changing it. But it still remains to this day.
