Yes well how about:

1558 Mass Ave #41

(...) Well, we cheat a bit -- the building numbers often (almost always, in fact) skip. For example, from 1558 to 1562. Just in case someone wants to come squeeze a two-dimensional 1560 in between the buildings. As for the apartments, it's a code -- (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
