It's not really that much different than cities where the addresses are based on distances from the river, or from the train tracks, or from an intersection that someone 150 years ago decided was the center of town. "540 West 400 South" translates to "540 W. 4th Street South" or "540 4th Street SW" in various non-Mormon locales. -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
