I think there's an important distinction between searching for a "nickname" and showing lines on the map.


Yeah, the 2 particular neighborhoods near me are ones that don't draw the bounds when you click on them in Google maps. Its a little annoying because it covers up map space that could be better utilized. But it would also be funny if a neighborhood name last used on streetcar timetables 100 years ago made a resurgence because Google maps happened to slurp up the right (or wrong) database of location names.
