For the uninitiated, is there cultural significance to 123 Maple Street?



No, it's just an extremely generic name and the employee looked up John Doe on the computer and it was already in there because of someone else who didn't want to give up their name.

I'm going to start registering that everywhere now, just to see how long it lasts.


Thanks! I caught the 1060 Addison reference from the Blues Brothers. Was thinking I was behind the times on something similar here.


It's around the corner from 321 Elm.


123 because, well, it's in order. And Maple street because there's one in almost every town in America. One could also use 1st St, Main St, Oak St, etc. Maple has a nice ring.
