The Old Algorithm -- handy if you're outside.
Finding the street from a number and avenue:
To find the approximate cross street,
take the address number and divide by 20;
then add (or subtract) the magic number from
the following table. (For example, 660 Madison Avenue
would be 660/20=33 plus the Madison Avenue index from
the table below (+27), 33+27=60th Street)
