Then, since few Costa Rican streets have names and houses do not tend to have house numbers; a second step will create numeric codes for streets and addresses covering the whole country. Thus in the following address: I do not know for a fact that mail pieces from America to say Russia are flown to any destination besides Moscow, but just now I noticed that the latest USPS Internation Mail Manual includes a large table, Areas Served Within Russia , listing hundreds of cities by postal code! About the hyphenation of German street names, Otto Stolz writes: Of course such a postcard would never, ever, ever reach me.

In that empty land, a popular and largely Mexican-American neighborhood arose and thrived during several decades. The area was distinguished yesterday and is today by a temple where in the name of God thousands of masses took place.

Bulldozers dispersed almost six thousand families, pulverized their homes, created its legend, and forged a symbol of resistance. And as in the history of old civilizations, where no vestige is left, only a structure, the building of the Church of the Sacred Heart —defended of its destruction by the parishioners— remains standing today, as a material survivor of a community forever lost. The barrio was then under the path, the noise and the smog of the airplanes of which would become the fifth busiest airport in the nation. At the Sacred Heart, the parishioners attended the last mass on December 29, The gradual exodus happened during the next two years.
When the dust dissipated and the rubbish was removed, the neighborhood had disappeared; only the temple remained. Some property owners had wanted to leave the area, because for years they lived under the noise and the pollution caused by the incessant and progressive air traffic.

Thus, the gradual displacement of thousands of families, the subsequent demolition, and the time this land has remained empty, has given this segment of 16th Street a declining appearance and a desolate aspect.
In the area between Buckeye and Jefferson Street, the industrial landscape remains. Passing Grant Street, northbound, a bridge rises, allowing the passage of trains owned by the Union Pacific Railroad company, previously called Southern Pacific. When crossing Jefferson Street, toward Washington and Van Buren, a different economy and population are seen, in contrast to the solitary view of the south side of the bridge.
And indeed a bridge between the past and the future is what the City wants to build, thus turning Phoenix into a world-class metropolis. For several years, developers have had in their vision other old neighborhoods located between 7th and 16th Streets, Buckeye Road and Interstate
