Never thought of it, but it doesn't work in my case. We lived in two places before I was four years old, and all I can remember is the street names, not the numbers. The first street I couldn't find at all; I found the second street, but it's about six blocks long, and I wouldn't recognize the house even if Google Street View had photographed it. >From the time I was four till I was 16, we lived in New York City near the Columbia campus. What used to be my street and several on either side of it now sit underneath a huge building complex housing one of Columbia's many schools. What's so weird to me is that the street, the apartment building, and my family's apartment are still so vivid in my memory that it's hard to comprehend they're irrevocably gone in reality, as if they'd never existed at all.
