Alpo Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Another Superman. He's riding in a convertible in a tickertape parade. Down Metropolis Blvd. A street named after the town? I can think of Hollywood Boulevard. But any other place? Denver Boulevard? Dallas Boulevard? Spokane Boulevard? Paris Boulevard? London Avenue? Moscow Boulevard?

Blackwater 53393 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I lived in the town of Kennilworth, NJ when I was a kid. The main drag through town was named "Boulevard" !! Not "The Boulevard" or some "___________ Boulevard". Just "Boulevard"!! Always thought that that was kinda' weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Going East from Highway 41 in Fresno you cross Fresno Street. The next block is First Street. First is second after Fresno. Still bugs me. OT... another thing that bugs the heck outta me is streets that change names. Same street; different name after a certain distance. Seems to be a Fresno and Seattle area thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every time you go from one to another, the street name changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the town square go south and it's Baltimore Street, and go north it's Carlisle Street. That's the names for boroughs or cities that the road goes to.
