Here's the source of part of my confusion about station address formats.
In TB's Guidelines it says, in part:
"STATIONS: The name of the station should be obtained by using the dropdown window in the left column under either “Report a Gas Price” or “Search for a Gas Price”. If the brand of the station you wish to post is not listed, use the "other station" column to the immediate right. Be sure to capitalize the first (and only the first) letter of each word. If there are a few or more of this brand of station, we can suggest to the administrators that it be added to the dropdown list. You may notice gasoline brands, clubs, and convenience chains in the dropdown.Please post each price only once. If the station happens to be in the list twice, such as Citgo AND 7-Eleven, please use only the gasoline brand name first when available.
Example:
Citgo 123 Main St & Cross St (7-Eleven)
or
Citgo 123 Main St & Cross St (Delta Sonic)"
But then I see Jman83 saying in the thread at http://illinoisgasprices.com/Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1195&topic=269143&page_no=1&FAV=N
Method #2 is correct. Actually, the preferred way would be:"Stanford Ave & 5th St"...numerical and directional ordinates aren't needed until we start using the MSL.
I see most folks including the street number. I had removed them from my favorites, but am afraid that I'll be causing some dupes by doing that since it differs from common current usage by most posters here.
Which is it?
UPDATE!! OK, I'll be editing my favorites list to get into compliance with the new rules as best I can. When I'm done, I'll be posting it somewhere that you all can see it if you want to use any of the information there. It won't include all the stations in Springfield as there are some that aren't on my usual paths.

GM's gone and screwed this up good hasn't he Rajah??
ReplyDeleteI return to my moving target analogy.. I'll just keep doing the best I can. My addresses seem to generally be more compliant than most that I see here in Springfield.
