Around here, we have subdivisions with streets named after golf courses, after types of classical music, etc. In downtown Chicago, all the streets are named after presidents. In one part of Washington, they're named after trees, in another after letters of the alphabet ... You can't miss it. It's over on U Street. Huh? Is that U Street, Yew Street, or Kaufman Street?

I'll need to know the name of the street to pick you up on. Look, I'd tell you the name of my street if I could, but I can't pronounce it. You can't? Is it French or something? Can you at least spell it? No I can't. It's not letters. It's sort of a squiggly thing with an arrow coming out of the bottom, and ... I'm sorry, that doesn't help. Try another taxi service. Wait, have you got any old maps around? This street used to be called Prince Place up until a year or two ago.
