Does GPS not work in Denver?

Yep. Had us remove the "South" from our address. Been that way for a while though (about 10 years if I remember correctly).

Further proof that there is discrimination taking place against ?south?.

I wish they'd change my Ave. to a St. one less letter to deal with [Sarcasm2]

But Golden has you remove the other direction.
We need to add South, East, North, West to the Interlocken addresses so they can be found.
Or, how about just the grid system used in Grand Junction and Salt Lake City (radiating from the Temple)

[blaster]

Could be Greeley where you can be at the intersection of 10th and 10th (St and Ave) (numbered streets both laterally and vertically instead of named x numbered)

I used to have to give directions all the god damn time to lost people etc.

In my neighborhood, we have a Road, Way, and Trail, with one name, and another named as Road, Drive, and Place, another as Drive, Street, and Lane, yet another as Trail, Way, and Place, and another as Street and Drive, and they're inter-connected. A large area with basically 5 street names of varying flavor.

Somebody must have been given a deadline for the names on a Friday afternoon.

I remember when I lived in Lake Oswego, OR as a kid. The town center had streets that were alphabetical and ran east-west, and numbered in the north-south directions. Navigating was as simple as playing Battleship.

LOL, Reno has a street that circles around the whole city, McCarren Ave, really make heads explode

I really dislike that

I live on 119th. Not 119th Court or Circle, or Place or , Avenue, or Street but on Way.

Funny thing is I don?t think anything I have ordered has been delivered to the wrong street. The wrong address several times but always on the correct street. I guess UPS and Fed Ex and the USPS don?t get as confused as emergency responders.

The removed the East for ours about that far back, I think. But in my parents' neighborhood (other part of The Ranch) they removed the East I think in the last 5 years or so. Can't remember. I just think it's funny that they bother.

Some of the conversations I've had when ordering things to be delivered can be funny.

Me: Address is 123 Whatever Dr.
Them: Is that East Whatever Dr.?
Me: Well . . . yes, but no.
Them: Well, which is it?
Me: It's both, technically. If your system has East then go with that . . . but it's not really East anymore. There is no West Whatever Dr.
