Utah really, really loves naming their streets like this. If anyone's in doubt, you can see it for yourself. Open an online map and zoom in on any city, or even town, in Utah. Just pick one at random - they pretty much all have streets with a name of some number + some direction. It's honestly kinda of impressive. Editing before comments inevitably arise:I'm not saying all streets are named this way, but that streets of this naming scheme exist in almost every city/town. It's an important distinction, and the existence of other streets makes the regularity of the number + direction schema no less impressive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago I think it's pretty much universal OUTSIDE of town to have this variety of address. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cm0002@mander.xyz [S] 4 points 1 month ago You go weast permalink fedilink source parent [–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) Mfs moved west and decided street names werent useful, I guess. Youll never see a city in the eastern half/third of the US with a “226th Street” but most major cities west of the Mississippi have a ridiculous lack of street names. Just mundane shit instead Edit: I looked it up out of curiosity and actually proved myself wrong. In NYC the highest numbered street is 263rd street in the Bronx. And Manhattan proper goes up to 220th street. But NYC is kind of the exception I suppose. The highest numbered street in Atlanta is 14th. Boston has no numbered streets at all permalink fedilink source parent [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago* (1 child) Just like that?
