And, I can't help but think how much more interesting the names are than in some of the small mid-western towns I've driven through, where all the north-south streets are numbered and east-west streets are trees - or some similarly dull arrangement. Sure, probably easier for folks to figure where an address is, but isn't it more fun, here?
I agree that using "nicer" terms than "street" adds some charm. It does bother me a wee bit, though, when I come across an "avenue" which is one short block long!
Aren't you glad we're not square, either?
