What is the numerical designation for Van Buren?

  1. 400 N

  2. 400 S

  3. 300 S

  4. 200 S

The correct answer is: 400 S

The numerical designation for Van Buren is 400 S. This designation reflects the common naming convention used in Chicago for its streets, where streets running east and west are designated with numbers that increase as you move further south from Madison Street, which is considered the baseline. Van Buren, being situated south of Madison Street, fits into the established grid and is correctly identified as something like 400 S, indicating its position in relation to the city's main thoroughfares. Each of the other designations refers to either different streets or locations that do not align with Van Buren's actual position within the Chicago street system, which is why they are not applicable in this context.
