Paul Simon once noted that there were whores on Seventh Avenue.
Ruby Keeler said there were sexy ladies from the eighties who were indiscreet on 42nd Street.
Frank once said that Chicago's State Street was great.
Though I'm not sure what a "freeze out" is, Springsteen sang of one on Tenth Avenue.
Arlester "Dyke" Christian found a Broadway in every town he went in. Wilson Pickett had the same experience.
Jan and Dean drove past Sunset and Vine. And they knew an old lady who raced down Colorado Blvd. -

John Cooper Clarke - "Keith Joseph smiles, and a baby dies, on the edge of Beasley Street"

No valley too deep, no mountain too high. -

Maggie Mae, the one the Beatles sang about, not the one Rod Stewart knew, will never walk down Lime Street anymore-a.
Long John Baldry played "boojie-woojie" music in a little alleyway just off of Wardour Street in Soho.
