Absolutely. As a suburbanite who isn't going to memorize every single street, I'd say 80% of my navigation in Chicago is by grid number. Memorize the half-mile streets and follow the numbers from there.
For example, if you tell me to go to 2700 N Clark, I know without looking at a map that that's just south of Diversey, because Diversey is 2800N. I love the grid numbers on street signs.
