Strange Ways

The house numbering is strange around here. Regardless of the street in this particular town, virtually all houses seem to be numbered in the 20xxx or 44xxx area. In fact, the same is true of the adjacent towns. Weird. Why is a road with about seven houses numbered in the forty-thousands?

Equally weird are some of the street names around these parts: Shangri La Road, Kill Deer Road, Mom And Pop Road and even Walk This Way. I kid you not. It's like living in a children's book.

I remember when I lived in Maryland my street address was like 16000 something. It was a long road, but Im not sure there were 160 blocks before me.

They may be doing something like a zip code with the numbering. Just a guess.

Ah, 16000 Green Eggs and Ham Rd. I remember that house fondly.
