"The mall of district", "eiffel tower", "statue of liberty".

Either they have something akin to Las Vegas in Pakistan, either there is someting very weird with this data.

Data are correct, there is a replica of Eiffel tower in that area: http://goo.gl/xzWAqE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahria_Town
https://www.google.com/search?q=bahria+town+statue+of+libert... - statue of liberty looks real too. Weird!
Check the satellite view and the real life pictures, seems real to me. WTF :D
To me this looks like one crowd sourced editor (the one drawing the Android) getting frustrated with another (the one drawing a bunch of complete nonsense) and doing something outlandish to bring attention to the area.
Looks more like it is large new building project and the streets haven't been named yet.
Aren't there a lot of "1st Street", "2nd Street" etc in USA?
