And yes, I've seen that video before. Quite depressing. Even the suburban strips of the 60s and 70s where every fast food restaurant, motel and gas station had a distinctive look and bright neon lights were better than the generic big box streets we have now. I've been living in Orleans for 4 years and I still get lost on Innes because everything looks the same.

Oh man, I am in Orleans at least once a week, Innes is a great example of a commercial area zoned for primarily for the automobile - No central area, just an elongated commercial strip on stores dependant on driving to get to. You would think they would zone mid to high rise residential development along Innes, but it would still be dependant on the automobile.
