The town where I went to university is also on a grid system and I thought it was the easiest place in the world to navigate, until I dated a young man who said he was always lost.....I began to question his directional abilities at that point because not only were the streets on a grid, the east-west streets were numerical, and the north-south streets were alphabetical! And because the city was in the midst of a large agricultural area, the major streets were generally a mile apart, based on the old section lines. (A 'section' is one square mile or 640 acres.) Even in the huge city where I now live, the major streets in my suburbs are mostly one mile apart, again because of the old section lines. Where my house now sits was a rice field less than 25 years ago.
