Marshall Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marshall Street in August 2003, filled with students and their families.

Marshall Street is located on University Hill in Syracuse, New York adjacent to Syracuse University, whose students gave it the name M-Street. Many shops, restaurants, and bars line this street and its terminus South Crouse Avenue, some of which are open until four in the morning during the academic year. The Marshall Square Mall is also located adjacent to Marshall Street. The area is promoted by the Crouse-Marshall Business Association. Marshall Street was renovated in 2000, receiving a new surface and underground utility lines. South Crouse Avenue followed in 2004.

Marshall Street is named for Louis B. Marshall (1856-1929), a Syracuse native and corporate and constitutional lawyer, who also helped found the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The 100 block of Marshall Street received the honorary name Louis Marshall Way in 2006. Historians have not determined if the street originally honored Louis Marshall, who reached prominence after the turn of the twentieth century.^[1]
