Between 44th and 43rd Streets, Lawrenceville. Steve and I were driving back from dinner. Took a different route. Saw this street sign. Took a loop around the block so I could roll down the window and shoot. Love being a passenger. Here is an article about Fractional Street Addresses
Good observation, Ruth! But what a bizarre name for a street. Who ever heard of a one-half street?
Definitely worth a second look – just in case it was one of those alternative reality places that only makes itself visible now and then 🙂
This reminds me of Platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross Station in the Harry Potter series. I always thought the fraction was a clever invention of J.K. Rowling. Now I wonder how many other back streets, allies, etc.contain a fraction in their names.
This was exactly my thought!
So people live on half of a street?! A little extension, I guess.
Classic!
Interesting! I figured the reason was something like that given in the article!
