Old trees aren't the only ones

We recently had a thread on losing a 500 year old tree to rather semi-consciousworkmen.Locally (in this a.m.'s paper), we had a new roof get ripped off and replaced.The roof that got torn off was 1 year old. The house was at (not real address)1203 66th St. The house that was supposed to have the work done was at 1203Cooperland Dr., 3/10 of a mile away. According to the paper, and at least oneperson in the town of VIenna, WV, those addresses are confusing.The homeowner was out of town and came back to get told of the changes by aneighbor. Fortunately for him, the builder is reputable, so it will be put backas it was by the original roofer.But, sheest! Confusing? 66th St. and Cooperland Dr.? With 3/10 of a milebetween them, it isn't likely to have been streets nose to nose, though Viennadoes wind around a bit. Nice little town.Charlie Self"Property is not the sacred right.

Hell, that's kids' stuff. In Boston, there are some streets you can't get to from here. Them Pilgrims walked some crooked paths.

And if you can get there, they aren't wide enough to drive down, or there's no place to park!

There's even some streets that you can't get to the next address on the same street from here. When the Interstates went through they added another layer of obscurity.
