Another quirky thing about the North is the street names. They do actually have names, but most people don’t know them. If you’re trying to give someone an address here, the standard thing to do is to refer to the previous occupant (“the house that so-and-so used to live in”), or a physical description such as “the blue house next to the cemetery just down the road from Ron’s house”.
Mail delivery is to PO boxes, so the street addresses mean nothing here. For example, our street address is Unit 13 – 359 Mackenzie Drive (as far as I know, there are no units 1-12), while my coworker just down the street has some more sensible address like 12 Mackenzie Drive. These numbers aren’t written on the houses or anything, so I don’t know why we even have them.
Most towns up north have a Sesame Street. People just think that it’s a funny thing to name a street. It’s often the “party street” in town.
There’s also a poor understanding of what a crescent is. For example, Sesame Street is actually a crescent, while Cranberry Crescent is not.
