Address

@GoodDay, to explain my edit here, addresses in Queens use hyphens. The number before the hyphen typically corresponds to the nearest approximate numbered street/avenue to the west or north, while the number after the hyphen is the house number of that block. For example, this theater's address is 165-11 Jamaica Avenue; the nearest street to the west is 165th Street, and the house number is 11. While I understand the desire to follow the MOS, technically speaking, these are not endashes because 165-11 is a single address, not an address range.

I thought I should bring this up because you tried to change it back in 2021 as well. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:49, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
