I think it was on the radio I heard about Edmonton's street naming. Center St/Ave is located somewhere deep SE, hence most of the city is NW. At one point they were going to change it so it was actually in the center of the city but instead opted not to change it because it would be too expensive. IIRC, that decision was made decades ago as well.
