We have house names in Oklahoma, too, especially for buildings that predate statehood, government buildings (especially tribal landmarks), and just small towns in general (For example, the school in many of these small towns is often addressable as Anytown School, Whatever Street, Anytown, OK, which drives my dispatchers nuts to no end, since they're very housenumber oriented folks and think there's a part of the address missing; then again, same people will give me a dispatch in Sapulpa with the city being listed as Tulsa, the state as Arizona and the zipcode for Red Fork, OK expecting me to figure *that *one out...)
