Street? Terrace? Drive? Avenue? Place? Road? Boulevard? Lane? Circle?
What kind of street do you live on? (Just the suffix part... not your full street name.)

1. Road...however a couple miles away there is "Whaleback Waddy"
no road, drive, avenue nothing after it...it's just called "Whaleback Waddy." Everything else around it has normal street names like "River Road" and "North Drive."

17. I was in SoCal the other week...
and I noticed some of the street signs ended with an abbreviation I've never seen before. I presume it must be a Spanish word. Anybody know what it is?

20. I can't remember...
I think it was a three letter abbreviation starting with a 'C' but I could be way off.

21. Probably Camino
I'm not sure what the abbreviation for "camino" would be, but that's Spanish for "road".

Otherwise,
CTR = Center
CPE = Cape
CIR = Circle
CLF = Cliff
CLB = Club
COR = Corner
CRT = Court
CRK = Creek

26. Street
We're on the numbered grid system in this city (very easy to get around, for the most part); most likely one would live on a street or an avenue.
