Oh! I hadn't thought of how much fun all the similar street names would be for you & the other meter readers, especially when an individual work order of some sort has been issued for a particular property.

What a potential nightmare!

Isn't it crazy how different names couldn't have been thought of at the time of the naming?

Understandable. There are highways that cut through many of the cities/towns in Illinois. They have a street name in town, but also the highway #s are posted. One can't use the street name to non-locals, as they would get lost.

Nothing like keeping people guessing!

Gotta be a knowledgeable local to know where to find certain locations.

Don't feel bad about the initial confusion.

This morning, the guest speaker for the meeting I attended was late. His GPS gave him conflicting directions to find the location of the meeting. He arrived on the other side of time with plenty of time....then found to his chagrin he wasn't at the right location. Poor guy!

I was throwing papers to mcansh park for nearly 7 years before I became a meter reader.I got the mcansch park route because I know the streets.the city has its route.I wouldn't want Tom to combine St helens route into the mcansch park route.it would take me till 2 or 245 to get that done.700 reads.I know a route that is done on the same day,or cycle thar has 560 reads .I can finish thar at 1130 but I ran that route to do that.
