I loved they way St. Petersburg was laid out. If the address was 3214 52nd St. N. You knew it was in the 32nd Ave block and the 52nd St. On the North side of the city. Central Ave split the North and South sides. If they had a named street it fell between the numbered street. Darlington Ave was between 4th and 5th Avenue. Last 2 numbers were house placement. Even was on West side or North. Occasionally they threw in Place, Terrace, and Way. I was taught PAT put Place and Terrace same direction as Avenue. Otherwise it went with Street. I felt it was impossible to get lost in St. Pete.
