Yup, I delivered pizza for the Hut around the same time. Big ol' map of the area divided into sectors, each order listed which sector the address was in. I'd write directions on the back of the order slip, and go off into the night with nothing but a flashlight. First day I got a lecture by the manager on how to navigate by address and tell which side of the street a house was on, I learned more about navigating that day than in the entire rest of my life.

Sometimes I miss those days and wish I could be 19 and driving my tiny Honda Civic through the highlands again, listening to video game songs downloaded from OCRemix on my little MP3 player plugged into the car audio with a tape adapter.

Lol, I too delivered in a Honda Civic. I feel like there were like 4 vehicles back then with decent mpg.

Though my tape deck was broken, so I had to use one of those things you plugged into the cig lighter and tuned to an unused radio frequency. Oddly good times, when I think back to it.

I have many nostalgic memories of FM transmitters

Whether the number is odd or even, right?

Yup, and also how to orient yourself and the direction you were going by the progression of the address numbers--for example, if you were on Sunset Blvd SE, you knew address numbers increased as you drove south and east.
