And the house numbers don't increase in nice increments of 2. My house number is 23026, but next door is 23018. So I presume it has something to do with the size of the blocks. If we lived in Beverly Hills mansions, our numbers might be 80 numbers apart, not 8. It does actually make it easy to find a house in a flat part of town where the streets are in a square grid. 23026 is going to be on the same east-west block no matter where I go north or south. So there IS a method to the madness (not always obvious in the USA).Hashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515729956277849537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459656.post-44658370016972792522007-05-03T00:58:00.000-07:002007-05-03T00:58:00.000-07:00Yes, please could you explain the American numberi...Yes, please could you explain the American numbering system - the addresses I write often have huge numbers?Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003579922396408184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459656.post-40694269787554999802007-05-02T00:40:00.000-07:002007-05-02T00:40:00.000-07:00Yes I now find it quite surprising how daunting I ...Yes I now find it quite surprising how daunting I thought landscapes could be last year. That surely isn't the house number - I mean is it really 22933 on a road where there is a building that is number 1?Julie Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561525327058025185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459656.post-38903490929262522402007-05-01T21:29:00.000-07:002007-05-01T21:29:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.jaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217163980301762354noreply@blogger.com
