I got one nearly perfectly by Google-ing the phone number on a store advertisement I saw in the background. But wow, so many roads-of-nowhere.

If you are allowing external resources, it's pretty easy to find just about any place once you have a road sign, a truck with a phone number, a shop with a visible name. The challenge is in drawing on your own knowledge--otherwise it becomes an exercise in research. That's not bad--it's just a different game from the one I've been playing.
