Love it, just one issue: the grid south of the Loop is messed up: Roosevelt (1200S) is 1 mile south of Madison; Cermak (2200S) is another mile south of Roosevelt, and then 31st (3100S) is another mile south of Cermak. From 31st it goes back to the way it should be, 35th, Pershing, etc.

@jeffc: Great point. I never noticed it until you mentioned that. I guess in order to keep up with the half-mile/mile theme the south grid is correct. But in terms of major streets, everything is off by a block. 111th, 123rd, 143rd... etc.

For 8000W, Washington Ave. is in the suburb of Park Ridge and Unincorporated Norwood Township. In the City of Chicago, 8000W is known as Canfield north of Montrose and Pacific south of Montrose.

From Belmont to I believe Irving Park for 8000 W. is Pacific

Agreed with all the above comments, but 3600E is Avenue L, not Ewing
