Regarding odd street names, layouts, etc, and New York's W4th street, consider
this.  In the same vicinity as W4th there is a street that enters an
intersection, and then leaves it on both of the remaining routes. In other
words, all three legs of the wye cary the same name.  This is Gay Street, and
on of the legs is only about 30 feet long.  This leg borders a building that
contained the home of Jimmy Walker, the Mayor who resigned quietly after the
Governer threatened to expose/prosecute corruption in City government.  His
Ghost is said to haunt the building.
