Not all the streets here are named for numbers, which I personally think shows a singular lack of imagination. Here is a map of the area. You can see that Second St S does not go all the way through and becomes a dead end. This is a heavily treed area full of small cottages, some winterized into permanent homes, some seasonal rentals. The town stretches along the beach in a north south direction and as a result there are no streets designated east or west. Only the numbered streets that are north or south of Main Street have a designation.

Imagine giving your address as being on the corner of second and second.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many times the mail is delivered to the wrong address!
ReplyDeleteThat has to be confusing!
ReplyDeleteWe used to live near a town that had street/avenue names like that. I think it's worse than unimaginative...somebody tells you they live on second. And you always drive to the wrong one.
ReplyDeleteI like that both second ave and second st intersect each other. I've never seen that happen before.
ReplyDeleteI use to live on Second Street. Now it is just across the street from my house, but in a different town.
ReplyDeleteOn second thought .... go north. I have the love-hate relationship with these streets! Happy travels!
ReplyDeleteSo, that's simple and clear. :)
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable. You would really need to ensure an address you may be seeking was worded correctly.
ReplyDeleteThat must be confusing! Just go to the corner of second and second. :S
ReplyDeleteoh that could get confusing and now i see the beach sign matches the benches!
ReplyDeleteSince I rarely pay attention to whether it's 'street,' 'road', 'drive' or 'avenue', I would certainly be confused!
ReplyDeleteI worked at a place once that had the address West 5th North Street.
