where's the "beginning"? |
We have no idea why someone could even ask that question, but someone did. Let's be honest: without a map overlay of some sort, the only way you can pluck a street address out of midair is to already know some of the addresses. That's not what Litherland said, of course, because that would not have been enough words to earn his stipend.
No, Neal had to pretend to have a solution to a problem he stated as,
"...if you have a historical [sic] photo or an aerial picture provided to you without text, you can still use a few navigational techniques to find a physical address."The weakness with that argument, of course, is that a "historical" photo may not have the necessary landmarks. But even if it does overlay nicely with a modern map, Neal's "solutions" seem wanting, especially pronouncements like,
"Determine what block the address you're looking for is on by finding the beginning of the street and counting the blocks."Really? Find "the beginning of the street"? Don't be stupid: streets start (and end) in random blocks and a lot of them cross the zero line! Neal also tried to tell us that,
"Numbered streets, such as 12th Street, generally are even numbers for one direction, such as north-south, and odd numbers for east-west streets, but the rule varies by location."
"...count the lots until you find the the address you're looking for on the aerial map..."We defy our Dumbass of the Day to show us lot lines on an aerial photo. Nope, just more bullshit from a freelancer who has no idea what he's talking about.
