In NW Portland the streets go by numbers N-S and go by names E-W, but the advantage is the names are in alphabetical order.

(The creator of The Simpsons, Matt Groening, is from Portland, and many characters in the show are named after the street names in this area, like Lovejoy, Quimby, Kearney, etc.)

On the other hand, where I live in SW Portland, streets are arranged around green areas, so there are no rectangular blocks. It makes it really hard for friends to find my house the first couple times. I have a friend whose house I visit a couple times a year, and I have to print out a map every time. It's just that hard to find.

It sounds like you are trying to bait a fight, GoNative.
