bullet::::- the chicago, illinois, grid system extends throughout the entire city and into some of its suburbs. it divides the city into four quadrants, with the zero point being the intersection of state street(0 e/w) and madison street(0 n/s) in the "loop". all streets bear a directional prefix indicating their position relative to state and madison, which is never omitted when writing an address (and rarely in speech). "blocks", which have a range of 100 numbers, are approximately 1/8 mile long (except between madison and 31st streets, where blocks are slightly shorter, given a three-mile distance between the streets). many neighborhoods have intermediate blocks at 1/16 mile intervals as well. the most important streets occur every mile (i.e. every 800 numbers), with secondary streets at half-mile intervals. north-south streets are always named, while east-west streets are named on the north side and numbered on the south side. most city of chicago residents know at least a few of the major streets and their grid positions (i.e. north avenue = 1600 n, cicero avenue = 4800 w). thus addresses in chicago are commonly given two ways: in cartesian coordinates (3400 north, 2800 west) or as number and name (3324 north california), with the expectation that the nearest cross street, or at least the distance from state street or madison streets can be appropriately deduced from the address number (i.e. 3324 n = slightly more than 4 miles north of state and madison streets). diagonal streets are given directional suffixes based on whether their angle is more vertical or more horizontal, and their numbering corresponds with the rest of the grid.
