Subject: RE: Folklore: Cattycorner, Cattywampus
San Francisco has them in the Financial District. I believe they call them "scramble corners."

I eagerly await folkloric enlightenment on the word origins of the feline-related words, which incidentally I've always heard as "kittycorner" and "cattywumpus."
