There is a department store in Edinburgh built on a hill with exits at the front and back, and you had to go up stairs to reach the back exit. However, they were labelled the "Princes Street level" and "Rose Street level" exits, and I used to look up or down whenever we left the store and wonder where the other level was, because I could never see it...
