The origin of the idiom "around the corner" can be traced back to the concept of turning a corner while navigating through streets or pathways. In literal terms, when one turns a corner, they immediately encounter what lies ahead. Figuratively, this concept evolved to represent something that is physically close.

A block is an area in a city or town that is bordered by four streets, usually forming a square or rectangular shape. It typically contains multiple buildings, such as homes, stores, or offices, and is one of the smaller units that make up a larger neighborhood or urban area. Blocks are often used to organize a city’s layout, making it easier to navigate and find specific locations. The size of a block can vary depending on the city or area.
