    I have one observation that many of the big corporates have addresses like this: 1, Microsoft Way, Redmond 1, Verizon Way, NJ 1, Oracle Way Are they also patenting and/or purchasing additional license for their street addresses from the local civic agencies?

                        In the US, developers of vacant property assign names to streets within the development and file the plat maps with the county government. These filings also dedicate the streets to the local government, making them public property to be managed and maintained by the local government. In some areas, they are also allowed to assign address numbers, if there's no overall scheme for addresses imposed by the government.

                                  I think there's also an "Infinite Loop" going through the student housing here.

                                      Up in Ludington, Michigan, there was a Meijers built on "Meijers Drive" It went out of business, and a Walmart went in. The street name stayed. :doh:
