No shit. I don't know how I'd make it around the metro if it wasn't for GPS.

That's definitely a screwed up area if you're not familiar witha it.

Yup, that's how Jax Beach is, too. It's all North or South, or Ave or Street... took me a bit to catch on, but now it's easy.

Got to love the grid system.

Unfortunately, not all are created equal. It can vary from city to city.

Here, streets are E-W and Ave's are N-S.

Odd numbers are on the N & W side of the street. Evens on the S & E.

Not much different than new subdivisions that have streets named Mapletree Lane, Mapletree Drive, Mapletree Street, Mapletree Avenue, Mapletree Road, Mapletree Circle...did I leave any out?

That doesn't help, either.
