Its a small world - part ?

I know my friends are probably TIRED of hearing how "small" Austin is for me, but here is a new one! I am on Freecycle (YEAH Freecycle!!!) and I grabbed at an offer for cassette tapes from a guy. I got the tapes and it turned out he lived on a little street that I've driven by all my life and WANTED to drive down, but since it was a dead end, I never felt I could do so. I told him that I was EXCITED to get there because of that, and sure enough, I was rewarded by a cute little neighborhood and a pretty little garden circle at the end before going to the address. He hadn't put the tapes out so I had to knock on his door. So, he asked, since I obviously knew the area, where I used to live. I told him that I first lived on Madrona Drive. He asked what address and I told him. Turned out that HE lived on Madrona Drive from 1985 until a couple of years ago! He named off one family and I said "yes" and then he mentioned another one and I said the son was in my graduation class, then I mentioned one and he knew him too! It was so funny/cool! Granted, there was 22 years between the time we moved out and he moved in, but still! The really neat thing is that Madrona Dr is ONLY a block long! (a long block, but still only a block - 4600 to 4616 on the even side of the street 01 to 11 maybe on the odd side. Still... how cool is that? You ever driven by a street you wanted to go down but didn't have a reason to? Ever met someone who lived on a street you used to live on? (I mean in block area not like Lamar Blvd in Austin that runs all the way north to south...) I did used to work with a gal who actually lived ON the street I currently live on!
