  • First – North of East Main and East of North First, or Northeast
  • Second – South of East Main and east of South First, or Southeast
  • Third – North of West Main and west of North First, or Northwest
  • Fourth – South from 402 West Main
  • Sixth-and-a-Half – South from 606 Dice
  • Seventh-and-a-Half – South from 620 Dice
  • Main – The dividing line between north and south streets, runs east from First to C & O Lower Depot, and west from First to University.
