Corrected entry: Emily is telling Dial how to get to a meeting place and she says that "it's a block past such and such," although British people don't use the word block to explain distance.
Correction: Not traditionally, no, but in recent decades we've started using it a lot more, particularly in the larger cities and among those who watch a lot of films. So it's not at all unfeasible.
