"normal is an odd place"

It's a couple of one-way streets with a really wide median (like a narrow strip of drab and empty park) and does a weird jag in the middle where right around Polk it sort of stops being "Normal" for a bit and then rejoins "Normal," which for some reason is coming from the west. There's gotta be a short stretch of perfectly straight, well-maintained road with light traffic and a few small houses with nice yards named "Odd" somewhere around here.

The proximity to one of the better bits of University Ave makes up somewhat for the street's strangeness in organization.
