NE Corridor... "Progress"????

[nachoman]

I lived in Utah for a few years. There, streets literally have no names (like the U2 song) . Anyway, despite the roads being a cartesian coordinate system, I was confused. I could know where I was, but at the same time not *know* where I was. Saying I am at 500N 300E feels like the answer to a math question, not the location of a restaurant. I could never remember whether it was on 300 north, 400 north, or 700 north where I saw that store I wanted to go back to. For some reason, a street name is easier to remember than a number. Plenty of people disagree, though. But I still say people know better the names of the people on their favorite team than their numbers .
