Hello all,
Do you remember last year there was someone who posted a URL for singing
reindeer (on a roof, if I remember correctly) and another for singing
horses? Does anyone have those URLs and could send them to me? Some
friends of mine are interested.

Please note that in Canada, this only applies in the West, where the
cities are relatively new. In the East, where the cities date back to
the 1600s and 1700s, there are no neat grids. Usually the first address
on each street is number 1 and go up to whatever the number of

Some other principle ;-))
Say that Smith Street runs North-South, and 13th Avenue crosses it East-West.
Talking of block sizes and maps, I am always intrigued by USA
street addresses, where the property number is often in four

Irregularity is typical of European city centers, because they grew
up long before city planning was a big thing. Many American cities
were laid out on a plain grid on essentially blank land, as opposed
to growing up helter-skelter and being mapped later. The exceptions

side of the block. But it's an unusual block, because it's part of a

A block is the portion of a street between 2 intersections. Because
blocks are usually rectangular, there are long blocks and short blocks.
'Around the block' means walking/driving around the 4 sides of the
rectangle. As you say, it's a very imprecise measurement, but it is
useful as it give
