Talk:Bleecker Street (Manhattan)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Continuation of 1st Street?
I deleted the sentences that said that Bleecker was a westward continuation of E 1st street, because Bleecker Street intersects the Bowery quite a bit north of where 1st Street does, and the streets carry traffic in opposite directions. There's also no historical evidence given that one is a "continuation" of the other.
[edit] Hudson becomes Bleecker?
I deleted the section that stated “The street begins at Abingdon Square, at a confusing intersection where Hudson Street intersects with 8th Avenue and becomes Bleecker Street. It ends at its intersection with Bowery.” Because Bleecker Street, like many "crosstown" streets in Manhattan, begins towards the center of the island and extends towards the river, and is numbered as such. In adition, neither Hudson Street nor Eighth Avenue “runs into” Bleecker Street.
