this question is about naming of floors etc...
in Sydney we tend to name the ground floor (the floor with a door on street level) as "Ground Floor"
floors in buildings are then numbered from G-1-2-3-4....
then we have lower ground 1, 2, 3... with 1 closest to the ground (as in mirror image 54321-G-(LG)12345... if you get the picture)
however, I know that in Melbourne (jokingly known as our arch rival city in Australia) it is more common to see buildings with no "ground floor", street level being named level 1....
with then "Basement" or "Below Ground" 1,2,3...
these are just general conventions, and in more complicated buildings things may be different, but I was wondering about the US style naming systems...
Do you have a GROUND FLOOR, or a level-1
anyway,
just after the local colour/touch to something I am trying out in a story, and seeing as Metropolis is supposedly based upon NYC, I presume that if there are local variations, this would be what I was looking for...
