Some addresses that have had "issues" #11

I'm working through a large list of addresses supplied by the census bureau geocoder, and found a few special cases that the directional prefix/suffix parser has had problems with. 1441 EAST, HOUSTON, TX, 77007 7124 AVENUE E, HOUSTON, TX, 77011 9315 E AVE N, HOUSTON, TX, 77012 1630 DALLAS ST, SOUTH HOUSTON, TX, 77587 (this one I didn't have "South Houston" in the city dictionary, so it got confused at the city stage)

This is super helpful, @alankjackson - we can patch the directional issues for sure. With the final one, did everything work once you added SOUTH HOUSTON to your city dictionary? There is going to be trial and error with the dictionaries for sure...

alankjackson commented 5 years ago

Yes indeed, getting that city in fixed it. BTW, I'm testing with 55,000 addresses and performance is fine.

Wonderful to hear @alankjackson on the performance front. I've been testing it on a much smaller data set (1,800) and have been pleasantly surprised.

We'll have to do a bunch of patching to close this issue - but I'm on it.
