And then there's Minneapolis, which has four 2nd Sts and four 2nd Aves: N, S, NE, and SE. Although once you figure out it's a tilted quadrant system it's not too bad. While there's (up to) four "2nd and 2nd" intersections, both streets at the intersection have the same direction, telling you what quadrant it's in.
