Alright, quotes from clueless Brooklynites about how you'd expect 3" of rain in an hour "in Kansas, but this is Brooklyn!" (what, you think the city limits protect you from weather, as well as the real world?) aside...

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.
