E is Eastern Columbia, Broadway at 7th.

I can't top your alphabet list. But you'll be two blocks off of Eastern Columbia, Broadway at 9th.

OK, I'm WEST of Eastern Columbia! Or is it EAST?

Thanks, Laura. I couldn't remember off-hand, and 3rd didn't sound right, so I looked at a picture on-line, saw a street sign and guessed.

There should be alternate alphabet lists people can post. I didn't mean to stop anyone from coming up with anything by putting up a whole alphabet.
