ditto for St Pete Florida, without the N/S/NE/SE directionals, you're lost.
they're pretty fundamental. the avenues number north and south from
Central Avenue:


5th Avenue N
4th Avenue N
3rd Avenue N
2nd Avenue N
1st Avenue N
Central Avenue
1st Avenue S
2nd Avenue S
3rd Avenue S
4th Avenue S
5th Avenue S

the N and S labeled versions  are completely different, parallel
streets.if you suppress the directionals, you are losing critical
information.
