Please note that there are two possible spellings:
shy - shyer - the shyest (adverb: shyly)
shy - shier - the shiest (adverb: shyly)
noun: shyness
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/shyer
(there are not many adjectives ending in -yer or -yest:
-> slyest - spryest - wryest - grayest (gayest)
most common adjectives ending in -y follow this pattern :
-y -> comparative: -ier -> superlative: the -iest
eg: pretty, busy, easy, happy, hungry, lazy, merry, noisy, scary, tidy, angry, crazy, dirty, friendly, funny, healthy, heavy, hungry, salty, shiny, silly, spicy, thirsty, ugly
Hope it helps.

Both spellings are corect:
adj., shi�er (shī �ər), or shy�er, shi�est (shī �ĭst), or shy�est.

As for the address, "I live at 1561 Bell Ville Street." is the correct form.
