I hadn't played this game since, probably 2008, and I still remembered the layout like the back of my hand. The city is depicted much better in SR2, but I can't hate the first iteration of the city because it's just so memorable. Maybe it's just me being impartial because I love Saints Row and Saints Row 2 so much, but Stilwater has got to be one of the best fictional locations ever immortalized in video game form. You could completely customize your character and customize basically all of the cars (including adding spinners to golf carts), plus you had free roam of the city of Stilwater. When I first played this game back in the day I was super surprised about the amazing depth this game had. Before Volition completely jumped the shark with Saints Row 3 and 4, the studio gave us a (mostly) down to earth, open world sandbox game that instantly became one of my favorite games of all time.
