[nylug-talk] OT - city wide GPS question???

[Jim McBride]

Simple to remember in Queens.

Avenues, Roads and Drives ALL run parallel to each other.
Streets, Places and Lanes ALL run parallel to each other (not/never with the above).

Also for house numbers as the numbers increase the even numbers are ALWAYS on your left hand side.

The streets were rename sometime in the early thirties (Rawson Street - 33rd Street) on the number 7 line is one example.



Handy to remember.

I always laugh at how Queens will often have streets like 67th Road, 
67th Street, 67th Avenue, etc. all within a few blocks of each other.  I 
don't think they could possibly have thought up a more confusing street 
numbering scheme if they tried!!!
