Another confusing one - though at the city level - is Vancouver, Washington vs. Vancouver, British Columbia. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the Pacific Northwest, but I seem to recall I-5 signage giving those two options, one north and one south. I’ve always wondered how many drivers picked the wrong one at a glance and ended up at an international border.

Edit: Once I took a Lyft/Uber in midtown Sacramento. Midtown Sacramento is on a grid where north-south streets are numbered and east-west streets are lettered. The driver wasn’t familiar with the Latin alphabet. So what would seem like the simplest structure was, in that case, inscrutable.

Chicago does pretty good in general, the intersection of North Western Ave and West North Ave is always the most obvious, it's easy to get Central Ave and Central Park Ave mixed up too, they run parallel to each other and they're both pretty far west. There's also Lawrence and St. Lawrence, but they're like 25 miles apart so nobody really gets them mixed up.

Are you kidding? If you confound

> Mason St. and Masonic Ave., or Divisadero St. and Division St.

then you must be either very distracted or dyslexic.

What was the last time you gave or got an address by word of mouth?

Come on down to Atlanta and take the Peachtree industrial blvd to Peachtree Corners rd, or take a left on old Peachtree rd down to Peachtree ave and get back on Peachtree rd to the Peachtree connector over by Peachtree circle.
