Could someone from the US shed some light on this type of address: 5325 E. Pacific Coast Hwy Long Beach, CA 90804 The "E." is, to the best of my knowledge, just a designation of which side of the road the building is on; it is neither part of the street name (the street is "Pacific Coast Highway", not "East Pacific Coast Highway"), nor is it a part of the house number (there is no corresponding 5325 A, B, C, D, nor a 5325 W for that matter). How do you normally treat the "E." when recording addresses in databases and so on? (Please don't say "we have a middle initial for addresses" ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [email protected] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
