We have a Vietnamese Restaurant downtown called 205, which, coincidentally, is also the address (205 2nd Ave). Or maybe it's not a coincidence...

I've been there, actually. Made a special effort just to see it.
It was mighty cool indeed, but Death Valley as a whole is amazing anyway. Even more beautiful than the Grand Canyon, IMHO.
I've been meaning to tell you, BLT, your sig cracks me up. |

Agreed. There is a mystique about the place that is positively eerie. And the alluvial fans are second to none. |

Spring in Death Valley is amazing. Some of my best camping ever was in some of the little valleys not 20 miles from the main ranger station.
There's a web site called Google. That's place named after a number. |

What's really funny is that ours is not called 205, nor is it on 2nd Ave.

Right, 3rd Ave. 224 or something then?
The important thing is you feel better about yourself.

Ever hear of 84 Lumber? Its a chain around here where I live. Turns out the company started in a town called Eighty-Four, in Pennsylvania or Jersey or some such place. Difference is one is numeric and the other is spelt out. And that's a fact.
the sound of ataris kills me and my friends
'cause we know that we'll never go back there again
sometimes we play playstation
but it's not the same |

There's a town called 100 Mile House (and a 108 Mile House) in British Columbia.
And in South Carolina, there's a town called Ninety Six.

| Cheeseman's post reminded me of places named after places named after numbers. Seven Oaks (place of local historical significance), Seven Sisters Falls, Manitoba. |

There are apparently ten towns named Four Corners. And isn't there a national park with that name where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico meet?

No National Park, but there is basically a plaque on the ground showing the borders. As a kid, I did the request 1 arm or leg in each state. |
