It’s funny how “second” is first on this list. That’s because there’s a bunch of other names for “first” like main, center, state, etc.
It’s neat to break this list out into the most popular trees:
* Oak (6,946)
* Pine (6,170)
* Maple (6,103)
* Cedar (5,644)
* Elm (5,233)
Or by geographical features:
* Park (8,926)
* View (5,202)
* Lake (4,901)
* Hill (4,877)

I tried finding a list of the most common trees in America so then I could cross-reference it against the most popular street names with trees and see if they go in the same order. But I could not find the list anywhere online. Lots of lists that order the most popular trees by state, but not by all of America. But I did manage to find an interesting list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_trees List of Famous Trees. How cool is that? A famous tree. I want to visit these!
It’s a pity that all those towns are mostly identical. Without a GPS, one could not say where in the US he actually is. All streets of the same name, the same shape, the same building styles … Your cities are more of the … type that any town in any other part of the world.
not satisfied with the list of the street names…i know that there’s a lot more of it..so please do search most of it..i really am interested…
wtf? seriously – not happy with the street names here – there are none as far as i can see i totally agrees with iranski and DISAGREE with keisha – like what are you, an omelet?
i agree angel i’m not very plesed with the street names either.
I wonder where Broadway ranks. I’ve been through about 10 towns in the last 2 years with a Broadway St or Avenue
