Marion County has a county wide address system (that is just weird); all streets are named SE (or SW or NE etc) 176th or 2nd or 80th etc. It is normal that a street named SE 123th is next to a street named SE 35th etc no rhyme or reason for the number designation or location.

I believe TV made a special deal with the county to add the alpha names to the streets in TV.

I live in Marion county. My understanding is that the direction (SE, etc) and the number (91st, etc) is for fire and police call directions.

I know it is very confusing and thank the Lord we were allowed to have alpha names added.

It is really fun when you have to give a company your address on the telephone.
