12731695, Why is Manhattan (NYC) so dead now? Posted by Tony Sparks, Thu Feb-19-15 02:48 PM
Hanging out in downtown NYC last few days, it felt like the neighborhoods were dead compared to times I've hung out in the past there.
Who or what killed Manhattan?

12731759, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Street Posted by lfresh, Thu Feb-19-15 03:18 PM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Street
"The street's name is pronounced "HOUSE-ton", unlike that of the city of Houston in Texas, which is pronounced "HUGH's-ton". This is because the street was named for William Houstoun, whereas the city was named for Sam Houston."
