Which street is numbered as 50 E?

  1. State

  2. Wabash

  3. Michigan

  4. Dearborn

The correct answer is: Wabash

The correct answer is Wabash. In Chicago's grid system, streets are numbered based on their distance from State Street, which serves as the central axis for east-west streets. The ā€œEā€ signifies that the street is situated east of State Street. When identifying numbered streets, the numerical designation indicates how far east or west the street runs, with lower numbers being closer to State Street and higher numbers further away. Wabash Avenue runs north-south and is indeed numbered as 50 E. This numbering system helps drivers and residents orient themselves within the city effectively. Understanding this numbering strategy is essential for navigation and provides clarity when addressing locations throughout Chicago.
