Meet me at Starbucks in L. A.

That would be a joke, right?

You can't even specify the street, and expect any better results.

So many streets in LA are stupidly long. They just go on and on and on.

Sepulveda Blvd is 25.4 miles long.
Mulholland Dr is 23.8 miles long.

There are so many. La Brea doesn't even figure in the top twenty. Nor does Santa Monica Blvd. And they are really, really long. Spanning more than suburbs, I imagine some span cities.

While on the subject of addresses;
We probably all know about Amrikan street numbering. Every block starts at a new hundred. That's why their numbering goes so high, and how it is so easy to find an address.

Rather than trawl the street looking for numbers, just go to the right block, and narrow it down from there. It's not the way every street does it, but it is pretty common.

One more thing.

In New York, there is a strange numbering system. Down the middle of Manhattan is Fifth Avenue. It runs down the east side of Central Park. You have probably noticed that the horizontal streets, while not imaginatively named, are prefaced with either west or east. To the west of Fifth Avenue, the streets are prefaced west, and so on.

So the famous 42nd street is either West 42nd St or East 42nd St.

What you may not have noticed, is that the numbering starts at Fifth Avenue, and goes both ways.
On one side of Fifth Avenue is number 1 West 42nd St., and on the other is number 1 East 42nd St.

So on a busy traffic day, best you don't tell a taxi you want to go to 342 West 75th St., when you really need to go to 342 East 75th St. I doubt he would be impressed.
