memorizing streets is a lot easier to do when driving. Waiting at a stop light and noting what street and number it is. Sure that can happen on the bus too, but I’m usually burying my face in a book or in some internet printouts.
Like, I just realized that 5600, a factor of 8 (thereby should be a major street), is actually Bryn Mawr Ave. BRYN MAWR? WHAT? Uh right. I never thought of Bbbrrryyynnn Mmmaaawwwrrr (said in long drawn-out sarcastic tone) was a major street in Chicago. Ah well, now thanks to car, i realize that is. Congratulations Bryn Mawr, the street with two words but only one vowel.
