Don't they keep the exact locations of root servers secret?

Probably there was a J street until they put the root server there.

Then they had to go back and revise old maps of Anchorage, retouch aerial p=

The really expensive part was paying all the people to say "nah, there's ne=
ver been a J Street" when people used to remember it, and the people that l=
ived there.=
