- willvarfar 9y agoSo you can have another kind of address twin, where you live in the same house number and street etc, except a different portland?
- jaggederest 9y agoWhy so you can, if you fudge the quadrant: https://goo.gl/maps/n99GipXHqiF2 https://goo.gl/maps/n99GipXHqiF2 Parenthetically, there are actually either 5, 7 or 8 "quadrants" in Portland depending on who you ask and when. The traditional 5 are NW, N, NE, SE, SW. However, Burnside street is simply labeled E/W since it's on the dividing line, and John's Landing is the aforementioned zero-prefixed division which has been occasionally called "South", or the area just north of it, the "South Waterfront", even though it's not included in addresses with an S anywhere.
