Walking up and down the street isn't walking around the block.
Now, about those other answers you've all been avoiding.

But, the Earth doesn't go around the moon. The moon goes around the Earth. and if the house was rotating in place as i walked around it, always presenting the front... yes. i would still say i went around it....as long as the ground were stationary...
i know, infi... we're ridiculous.
