Hi Ryan, This is totally the right place for that kind of question. Looks like you got a basic answer already, but just to make sure. You need to remove the attr_accessor line from your Model. ActiveRecord creates methods for things like end_address=. Attr_accessor is also defining end_address= but with out the code that sets the database entry.
Also, I want to warn you about using a model and controller named Route. This is going to be confusing for future you and other future developers and may cause potential name conflicts with the Rails Router.
