Talk:city block

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I've heard of "block" being used in LA and Phoenix to refer to the distance between major intersections (which can be a nasty surprise if you're used to the other definition), but I can't find any good evidence with google. Can anyone confirm or deny? If so, is this called a "city block" or just a "block"? -dmh 03:55, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
