Sorry bout that. I must have been thinking about another thread discussing insurance. Rochester streets are confusing until you figure them out. Broadway and Center streets are the 2 main ones, but if you aren't renting a car it's not a big deal.

@bajjerfan I should add to your comment about confusing streets. Minnesota is rare in the world of street numbers in that they use for example north third street, south third street, east third avenue and west third avenue all in the same city. In addition, they may use northwest or southeast streets and numbers. One can literally be on the corner of third and third in two different areas of the city.
This whole numbers system is quite unusual for most visitors as it is not found in many other cities in the world. Apparently they lack the ability to use alphabetical names as cross streets to the numbered avenues.
Try to pay attention to the full numbered street/avenue compass location confusion which is Minnesota city addresses.
