How to join the sentences together coherently? I need to list some data but I can't use a list. For example, (a) "The revenue of A amounted to XXX." (b) "The reveneue of B amounted to XXX", (c) "The revenue of C amounted to XXX." So the first question is, can I omit the verb and write "The revenue of A amounted to XXX, that of B XXX, that of C XXX."? The second question is, if (a) and (b) do not form a contrast or contrast, can I use "while" to join them together?do not form a contrast or comparison

What does "down the road" mean here? It’s the least fair thing in the world.(that I do not have a true friend while) James has got Will Maycomb down the road, who is full of fun and mischief, and Lucille’s friend Ivadee is a year younger but seems just the same as Lucille, wanting to play house and schoolteacher all the day long. It is taken from a children's book Anybody Shining. The words in the parentheses are added by me. This phrase "down the road" got me. I thought it means the boy Will Maycomb lives down the road, but I am not sure now.
