Home sweet nothing

My mother was born in Caribou, Maine. Way, way, way up north.

The address of the house she grew up in was "Zero Teague Street."

Family legend has it that her mother fought many a battle with the post office to keep that address. I wonder if it still exists.

My grandmother was an alcoholic and died weighing over 400 pounds.

What does it mean that she wanted her address to be Zero?
