It’s also probably 41 “blocks” north…although not all the blocks are necessarily used for anything. So, the next block north of the 4112 North Some St. address would be 42## Some St.

Sounds logical…..in a strange sort of way. I’m curious why I see addresses like “1875 NE 135th Street Road”. Is it a street or a road? Is it a Boulevard or an Avenue?? Come on!! Make up your mind!
