Around here (W. Michigan) houses seem to be numbered as though the

Actually, that probably means that the street *does* have a specific baseline,
e.g. 3.240 miles north of the center of town.

Interesting thread. Lived here for years with street name and RR PO box
then county came in and numbered. Street with 10 houses and cul de sac,
they started numbering with 500 and skipped some numbers. Makes no
sense at all which is what you expect from morons in the county
