Look, I realize that naming streets numerically, ie. 4th Ave. W. sort of helps directionally. But it is sure dull and doesn't help everyone from a standpoint of memorizing an address.

And we leave it to the developers.. in some areas. Geez.

City I grew up in had alot of the older streets named after German-Mennonite settlers... Erb St., Weber, Shantz, etc. I thought it was normal until I met visitors who couldn't pronounce some of these llast names correctly.
