There are at least two online databases that I know of that can be
subscribed to (at rather high rates) that will give you such info.
However you put in an address, and they then give you the names,
addresses, and phone numbers of eight or ten addresses on both sides.
On the other hand you can put in a phone number, it gives who listed
to, and the same deal on the neighbors if you want it. One database
claims 94 million listings, and the other claims about 114 million
listings. The larger of the two is called "MetroMail" and I "think" it
is operated by a sub of Donnelly..
