The street naming system here in Cedar (and I'm lead to believe, the whole of Utah) work a bit differently. Instead of naming the streets, like every other place in the world, each road is numbered by its distance from the main street (or in larger cities distance from the temple). Now, that's pretty logical I thought and fortunately I'm pretty good at maths so its actually made it pretty easier to find my way around. (I often imagine people who can't add or subract number easily must spend hours driving aimlessly around the town trying to get home from work each day. Maybe its modern day natural selection.)
Anyway, leaving the mathematically challenged aside, I think this is a pretty good system as you'll always know where you are in town, no need for a GPS here. I also like it because its different, ok it probably does exist elsewhere in the world, but my point is its not common and it stands out. At least it did until I saw this...
Freedom Boulevard? Yes, it turns out the second major street in town has been given a second name, its not so unique and very common. With imagination like that, my money is on the next two major streets built in the city to be called Liberty and Independence!
