1) I lived on "Old Trolley Way". The small rail line which once ran there was the same gauge used in some older dairy farm regions to scoot milk quickly from the many small farms to market. Flat bottomed boats were used to unload ships and the trolley brought the goods to a larger rail line. It ran between Royaton and So. Norwalk, CT.
2) Names like "Bay 34th St." and "Ocean 34th St." nearby each other in Brooklyn shouldn't be, but they are!
3) There are 4 Eagle Streets in Brooklyn.
4) In The Battery (Lower Manhattan) there's a Stone St. The wife of an English General tired of washing her curtains and got her husband to order the street paved. It was the first paved street in Manhattan.
A major office building was set down directly over part of Stone St. If you walk west on Stone, you will go through doors, a lobby with elevator banks and out the other side where Stone St. continues to Broadway.
The office workers call the lobby, "Stone St.".
5) Mosholu Parkway, in the Bronx, is a wider thoroughfare; a short highway laid out by Robert Moses.
Years ago, my sister and bil had a restaurant on Mosholu Ave.; a small sized neighborhood road in the same borough. I can't count how many times I was corrected by people when I told them where Sis' restaurant was? "You mean Mosholu Parkway, don't you?"
NOTE: In the 1970's, the Russians built a Consulate up the hill from their restaurant. Not one cent of business rolled down that hill.
edit:
1) Yes, street names matter to me....just like the numbers found in the corners of paper money.
2) The houses in post #29 seem insanely close. If that's the NASCAR part of NC, this must be where pit crew trainees live.
My OCD can't handle them mixing car brand names with models either !!
