-> street addresses, whatever. Many suburban streets will have numbers
-> going up into the 100's, fewer streets reach into the 200's, etc.
Our county has a nice numbering system. They start at 0 at the north and east 
borders. Then they measure the distance from the border to the particular 
lot. The address is the number of feet, minus the last digit. For example, my 
address is 4706, which means it's just about 47,060 feet from the eastern 
border. It's a real handy system when you're on a long street and don't know 
how far it is to the address you're looking for.
