Well, for what it's worth, the north-south streets in Philadelphia
are numbered sequentially from the (delaware) river, with two
exceptions.  The *first* street, down by the river, is Front Street.
Then come 2nd (known locally as "Two Street"), 3rd, 4th,...12th, 13th,
Broad, 15th, 16th,...
Broad, by the way, is the main North-South artery.  City Hall is at the
intersection of Broad and Market.
So that's one city with a Second Street but no first.
Just thought you'd like to know.
