That's what we do here in Utah: 100 E, 200 S, etc. If you give me your address, I can find it without knowing anything about the area, though it might take a little longer without directions if there are non-uniform blocks. Also, I can quickly approximate how far another address is since I know how big a block is.
We name a bunch of streets too, but they all have a number name as well, usually written underneath or in the corner.
It works really well.
