Block numbering
Do you think it's worth making articles for each of the blocks as numbered in these maps? There appears to be some consistency over the years. For example, that [[M. C. Blanchard Building]] thing I found a while back talked about Blocks 10 and 11. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 13:08, 28 March 2009 (CDT)
:Everything in the City tracts which are gridded is broken into blocks numbers. For instance, I live in Block 63 of the East King Tract. You'll notice these block numbers are part of legal property descriptions. So... we could, sure. I'm not sure how much potential content there is for such articles. Maybe we could do them but only for "important" blocks? Or maybe a [[List of City blocks]]? <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 07:32, 29 March 2009 (CDT)
::Hmm. Maybe if we can find boundaries for the tracts, we could have a Google map in each with markets labeling their respective block numbers? Just a thought. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 10:19, 29 March 2009 (CDT)
