Yes, but this is apparently not uncommon. Flying out of Meigs shortly
before it was bulldozed, talking to (I think) Chicago Approach, they
referenced the "Eisenhower Expressway" in their instructions to us. (As in
"don't fly west of the Ike")

When we responded that we had no idea where that was, they gave us vectors.

I found it very common when flying in the US that everybody and his
neighbor expected me to be familiar with the area - in *every* area I've
been to.
In Phoenix: "fly over this and that golf course ..."
In Lost Wages: "fly directly to this and that casino ..."
In Grand Canyon Intl: "fly over the third tree abeam the railroad-bridge to
Winslow, ya know! ..."

and so on ...
