Well, I lived on E. 11th Street in NYC for awhile....and we always said East 11th Street. I also worked on W. 10th and we always said West 10th.
My folks also had a home on E. Lotus Road in Wildwood Crest, NJ, a barrier island community with two other towns, Wildwood and N. Wildwood. The island was divided into east and west street addresses by a north-south street named New Jersey Avenue. What hasn't been nmentioned is the postal neccesity of including the East/West designation for mailing purposes. If someone addressed our mail 128 W. (or West) Lotus Rd., then it would go to a different address (house)...not ours.
