addresses

Back in 2006, I wrote about difficulty in finding my way around Costa Rican cities:

The Spanish word for address is "dirección," which is especially appropriate here because the addresses are more literally like directions: I got a business card from the place where I ate lunch a couple of hours ago that gives its address as "25 meters south of the cathedral." To make matters more confusing for the foreigner, sometimes they refer to a landmark that doesn't exist anymore, such as the inkeeper where I stayed last night explaining that if I wanted to return, I should give directions from a former movie house. Of course, we sometimes do the same thing in the United States, such as "two blocks north of where the Schmidt's brewery used to be."

I was reminded of this problem because of this column, which is well worth reading.
