The numerical designation for Pershing is?

  1. 3900 S

  2. 2300 S

  3. 6700 S

  4. 5500 S

The correct answer is: 6700 S

The numerical designation for Pershing Road is 6700 South. This designation refers to its location within the grid system that Chicago uses to identify streets. In Chicago, the south side streets are numbered based on their distance from Madison Street, which is considered the main north-south dividing line at 0 North/South. Therefore, each street moving south increases in number based on a system that typically reflects a consistent measure of distance in increments of 100. Pershing Road is specifically designated as 67th Street, and when converted to the numerical designation system used in Chicago, it corresponds to 6700 South. This system helps navigate the city and provides a geographical reference for both residents and visitors. The other choices reflect different streets and cannot be applied to Pershing.
