I've run into such things within the same place. Once I had a reservation for a room in Atlanta - drove 500 miles from Charlottesville, memorized the map (had it also printed, but arrived later in the evening and couldn't find a place with enough light - 2003, pre-GPS times) and the address was on Mt Vernon rd. Found it, and at that number there was just a wood fence and forest behind it - no gate, no lights, no hotel. Parked at a grocery store and explained this to someone, and the guy said "Vernon road or drive?". Sure enough, I found the wrong one, and the right one was just a few blocks away.

Or the VACU hq, which is at some 5500 number in Richmond, but the street ends after 3300. WTF? Well, they inserted the place in the back of the park at the 2400 block, and gave it a special number. By that time I was smart enough to go straight to the UPS shop at the end of the street - if they don't know, maybe cabbies would, but no cab station.

The worst snafu is the Princess Anne blvd which exists in both Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and they go generally in the same direction. So I guessed that they are the same street - and then suddenly there was the sign on the side "last exit before the toll bridge". The Norfolk version of the street bends slightly and eventually flows into a different street going north to CBBT.

It also happened that the signs around Manassas don't indicate which road goes downtown and which one bypasses the place, so I took the wrong one every time - they are numbered the same. Usually, at least in Virginia, the downtown one would say "business" - well I had no business there, just drove down main street.
