I’m going to stick to specific addresses, but I’m assuming that squares and smallish parks are specific places. If you get in a taxi, and say, “Take me to _____,” she’ll know where it is. NYC’s Central Park is out, because it’s huge.
Sonny Landreth sings (approximately) that he don’t believe in Voodoo, but he says a prayer when he hears the drums on Congo Square. (New Orleans)
Is Lincoln (Linkin) Park in Chicago too big to be an address?
Johnny Cash sang about Folsom Prison.
In My Kind Of Town, Frank Sinatra sang of the Wrigley Building.
Frank Zappa had several songs mentioning El Monte Legion Stadium.
Lonnie Mack sang about getting locked up in the Cincinnati Jail.

You’ll caper like a stupid clown when you chance to see…
4th street and D
I don’t know if that’s true or not. However, last time I was in East Saint Louis, Illinois, almost all the street corners had no signs at all. A cat on the other side of the river laughed and said they’d all been stolen.
Oh, and let’s not forget the TV theme song, 77 Sunset Strip.
**Winchester Cathedral ** is a real place somewhere, I guess.
