donut house progress

[lcmayer.livejournal.com]

Highland road and morrison ave - Looks like they've got the framing done for the first floor of whatever the former donut shop is being reincarnated as. Does anyone know about the company who is developing the property - are they a good company or is this going to be another "davis square condos" situation?

Google Maps must have a total blast dealing with that situation.

your spidey sense is off

no worse than they have with Putnam St vs Putnam Rd.

If you put rd in, you get rd, not ave.

As do out-of-towners .... (speaking as a Highland Ave resident here)

Google Maps doesn't have a problem with it but the pizza delivery people often do.

I used to live on another Somerville "avenue" with a correspondingly named "road", though in my case the doppleganger isn't anywhere nearby.

I work as a consultant who gets paid through the mail, and every so often a new client would say "Hey, I mailed you your payment but it came back 'No such address!'" My first question is, "Did you address it to Linden Road instead of Linden Avenue?" So far, that's always been the cause.

Just the price of working in a city so dense that it needs several layers of street-namespacing...

Or of living in New England where we have no creativity in naming streets and towns.
