I HATE Number Streets

Lazy? Before GPS it was the best way to find your way around a city. Gainesville FL, where I live almost 20 years ago, had one of the best street systems I’ve ever used. As a new resident, I could find anything, by street number, name, and city quadrant. Streets were even named roads, lanes, etc by the direction they traveled in. Never needed GPS.

Where’s my UF folks? Don’t know about the rest of Florida, but Gainesville has streets down to an art form.

I wander around the West Village thanks to the quaint named streets grrrrr

NUMBERED streets, you simpleton!

It's NUMBERED, you fat whore!

Fifth Avenue is not a street, twât

We love Number Streets!

R3 Yas drag that homophobic bitch!

If the OP were in charge of city planning we never would have had Slaughter on Tenth Avenue. Big loss.

Loved going to Portland where the downtown street names are in alphabetical order, so you know exactly how far it is from point A to point B.

OP, you sound stupid. I can't imagine caring about this. Number streets are the only way to organize a large city street map.

Can you imagine if every crosstown street in manhattan had a unique name?

I highly recommend The Address Book by Deirdre Mask: What Street Addresses Reveal about Identity, Race, Wealth and Power.

Yeah OP, this is the biggest problem with America right now.

I agree it's lazy and how hard is it to carry a map (back then) or cell phone

Get with the times grandpa

Lazy?

Try finding your way around Queens and report back.

Streets should be named after...Trees, Union Civil War heros, Presidents, and such. And they should NEVER, EVER have a street named after the city it's in. For example Chicago Avenue in Chicago is stupid.

Streets are named for their most basic function - navigation.

It's not a fucking history museum, you twats. It's a grid of roadways designed to get people and goods from one place to another. Ease of navigation for residents and visitors alike is the most important part. How good are you gonna feel when the ambulance, pizza man, and hookers can't find your house because they get lost somewhere between "Stonewall Jackson Court" and "Gaybraham Lincoln Avenue?"

Girls, girls don't fight! Cunt Boulevard is named after all of you.

[quote]I HATE Number Streets...except for Fifth Avenue NYC, which is the exception that proves the rule.

So basically, you hate POOR numbered streets, OP

Lubbock, Texas is very easy to navigate as long as you know the alphabet and can count. East-west streets are numbered and north-south streets are alphabetical

3rd St also has a nice ring to it.
