I know where Massachusetts Avenue is, but where's 1419? How far south of I-70 and how far north of 59? Is it downtown? Is there a parking lot?

(If it's downtown, it is no fun driving through an area where there are pedestrians, cars backing out of parking spaces, and traffic lights to observe while also trying to find addresses on buildings.)

rest of the world, NB: the streets of Lawrence, Kansas were named from east to west in the order to which they were admitted to the Union. (The system peters out with Iowa, I believe.) So finding your way around eastern Lawrence is merely a matter of remembering the American history you studied in the eighth and eleventh grades. Simplicity itself!

But if you want a surreal experience, try finding the Lied Center of the University of Kansas, (place where the big concerts are held) using only its official address. Heh heh.
