Broadway vs Broadway Street
OnMilwaukee.com’s Bobby Tanzilo took a peak at the story behind the naming of Broadway. The street, which a long long time ago used to be known as Main Street, technically has no suffix. Broadway, one of downtown Milwaukee’s main arteries, is not legally followed by Street, Avenue, or Boulevard, it is simply Broadway.
The fact that the name Broadway stands alone is something that once you know, you don’t forget, and that you aren’t any better or worse off for actually knowing.
