Judy, I can't imagine 20 blocks to a mile. If you divide that into a mile and subtract out some for streets then the blocks must be less than 40 yards wide. That doesn't seem possible but I've never been to Manhattan either.

LOL you ladies are such fun.
Here a block is much larger than that Judy. We don't have to squeeze as many people/buildings into it I suppose.

So as long as you stay local you should be fine. LOL Come out here and you'd be having to listen to the voices to find your way. Sounds like you've gotten used to them by now anyway though right? lol I'm not so sure you like to listen though.... and I can really relate to that.

Diana,

You and I are always looking things up! I love Google. I never realized that the blocks in NY are smaller than in other cities. They're a little more than 1/2 the length.
if you have 12 blocks to a mile. Our blocks are rectangular - what we call the Avenue blocks are longer.
