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

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?
