Ayup. And two mountain ranges. And one downtown. And recognizable bodies of water. And, and, and, and...
I think the only city I've found easier to navigate (short of the downtown/Denny boundary) is Salt Lake City. It's *one grid*, and surrounded by peaks, with a lake. It's basically just one unified coordinate system, and addresses frequently skip street names altogether. I lived at 1215 McClelland, but I usually told people 1215 S 1200 E, since McClelland was one block west of 1300E.
