USPS: 521 Waterman Ln SE

But I've never, ever written it in the full form and even the city-supplied street sign shows "Waterman Ln".

I just looked up a couple of US cities in a (US) encyclopaedia I have, and all references to specific highways had the 'generic' part of the name spelled out in full, e.g. 'Pennsylvania Avenue', '42nd Street'. Interesting that it was '42nd' and not 'Forty-second' though.
