What is the numerical designation for Touhy?

  1. 7200 N

  2. 7600 N

  3. 4000 E

  4. 2000 E

The correct answer is: 7200 N

The designation for Touhy Avenue in Chicago is numerically represented as 7200 North. This is consistent with how streets in Chicago are numbered based on their distance from the central reference point, which is State Street. The city is organized in a grid system where street numbers increase as you move away from this central point. In the case of Touhy Avenue, it is located at the 7200 block north, indicating that it is situated quite a distance north of the baseline at Madison Street, which marks 0 North/South. The other choices do not refer to Touhy Avenue; for instance, 7600 N would designate a location further north. The designations for 4000 E and 2000 E indicate east-west street coordinates, which are irrelevant when identifying a north-south designation. Understanding this numbering system is essential for navigation and location identification within the city's layout.
