Back when I was in school a roomate and an out-of-state friend used to
experiment with abbreviated addresses and the Post Office. His best was
a letter delivered to him addressed as follows:

DVA
BH
UCLA

His initials were DVA, BH is short for Boelter Hall, the main building
of the engineering department, and UCLA is the University of California,
Los Angeles.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
