How close to O-R-I-E-N-T is where you live?

Post by RientO »

Not sure why this popped into my head but where I live now is the first street I have lived in with all the letters O-R-I-E-N-T in it.

Even my elongated Dutch address Huidekoperstraat didn't manage it, nor the pretty local Pretoria Road (both one letter off). Nor Colvestone Crescent where I lived when I was very young.

Must be fairly common given O-R-I-E-N-T only scores 6 in scrabble.
