 I read somewhere that the most common street name in America is not
Broadway, or Main Street, or Elm or anything, but -- get this --
Second Street. Not First, but Second.

Now, I can well believe that sets of numbered streets are very
common. But it seems to me that for each set there will be a  
First and a Second, else why number them? Most, in addition, will have a 
Third, many a Fourth, some a Fifth, etc.

If a numbered street must be the most popular, why isn't it
First? Or why aren't First and Second tied exactly?

Any ideas?
