Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is the name of a city.
This is my first time to construct a midi puzzle. It's also a meta, so let me know if it works for you. Happy solving!

    Great job, Darth! Welcome to the midi contest!
    • Darth constructor · 2024-09-15T13:03:31.083Z
      Hey, thanks Cap'n! It's all in fun and a bit of a "copy cat" construction, but I guess we're all following the same set of rules. Thanks for your inspiration.
      • Abide 🤓5:00 · 2024-10-28T04:29:43.553Z
        this cat dug it
    • LarsCaine 🤓5:36 · 2024-09-15T12:34:48.013Z

          Well done!! and fantastic job adding a very apt meta twist to it. My only complaint is - now I have the hippotamus earworm LOL
          • Darth constructor · 2024-09-15T21:15:14.573Z
            Hahaha... So sorry about the earworm! :D
          • pufferfish 🤓8:00 · 2024-09-16T03:38:36.498Z
            truly exceptional construction!
            • Darth constructor · 2024-09-16T16:55:39.522Z
              Thanks. ;-)
            • apeminkie 🤓4:24 · 2024-09-16T09:13:42.249Z
              Sweet! Hope this puzzle took less than a day to build! 👢
              • Darth constructor · 2024-09-16T16:56:10.695Z
                Love that! ;-)

                • Darth constructor · 2024-10-03T23:20:50.732Z
                  Lol. I can't believe I won the Midi contest! This was my first attempt at a Midi and there were so many great entries. Thank you to those of you who voted for mine. I appreciate your support. And a special shout out to Capn Rick @rakennedy16 for his inspiration.
                  • michaelm 9:09 · 2024-10-05T01:29:54.462Z
                    Just saw Cap’n’s heads-up and had to do. Nice! er Rome. Congratulations!
                    • Darth constructor · 2024-10-06T01:30:40.874Z
                      Thanks. btw, I had an alternate version I was trying to work out using DR, LN, BLVD, ST that would connect all ROADS to R-O-M-E (blocks), but it was too hard to do in a 11x11 grid with decent fill. A fun challenge. :D
                    • wells 🤓8:09 · 2024-10-10T14:56:35.134Z
                      loved it!

                        Awesome! Thanks for solving.
