According to popular rumor, which is almost as good as fact (if not better
for determining this type of thing), a miracle occured on 42nd Street many
years ago just prior to Christmas (or the mythical date of the mythical
event that we CALL Christmas).  Since that time, 42nd Street has been
isolated in honor, or perhaps memorium, of this event.
