Boston Humor and History of Street Nomenclature
Boston dominates street naming quirks with 5 010 streets and 455 duplicates, while New York has 1 909 streets and few duplicates. Clerks in the federal building sing Back Bay street alphabet jingles, and lists of famous names, battles, cities, and symbols populate the maps. The note discusses betterment language origins, Scottish ambition, bicycle effects on shoe sales, and theories on gold nugget formation.
