By the way how long is a "block" is that a Canadian measurement? We have gone part metric here so we have lost some measurements.
We always had metric 10 cables to a fathom and ten fathoms to mile (nautical) and one mile is on second of movement around the earth. But now moved to French metric who got it wrong as one Kilometre should = Nautical mile but French guy who measured earth got it wrong!
A "block" varies and is not really a consistent form of measurement. Generally, it references a row of houses/buildings as measured from intersection to intersection.
