We sold the house in 2015. I think it was assigned an address in 2014 or 2013 as part of the county's (or state's?) 911 addressing location efforts.<br /><br />It took us awhile to fine-tune the driving directions we'd give people. For example, telling someone to turn "at the top of the hill" isn't helpful if they don't know they've reached the top until they start going down the other side of said hill. By then, of course, they'd missed the turn.ToadMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873763565941746536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-27047130323779873922016-02-13T18:48:41.411-09:002016-02-13T18:48:41.411-09:00The address on the Cozy sidecar for the manufactur...The address on the Cozy sidecar for the manufacturer is "Hansra Lane, Near Police Station, Byculla, Mumbai.

I remember that the residents had to sort of agree. The numbers were assigned and I remember some being annoyed by that as well. Almost as annoying as when the Post Office demanded that everyone put up a mail box by their driveway. They used to be clustered at the bottom of the hill. <br /><br />I think some places in Alaska still get mail by their SR (Star Route) number.
