To add to the fun some numbered streets cross each other; to our knowledge, no numbered avenues intersect. While we're at it, since Market Street crosses The City at an angle and since north-south streets begin their numbering at Market Street, the same street addresses on two parallel north-south streets will not be at the same east-west street. Don't rely on addresses, ask for the names of the cross streets.
