Street names that pay respect to other cities (state, people, Boston)

[rogead]

What are the names of some major streets in your city which are named after other cities?

For example, in Minneapolis we have Chicago AVE and Portland AVE--both of which are main thoroughfares leading into downtown.

In Dallas we have Houston Street that leads into Downtown Dallas.

Off the top of my head in Philadelphia there is Baltimore Ave which is a main street in West Philly/University City, Boston St, Trenton St which are smaller streets

Also Philly has a Street named for every County in PA

In Dallas was have a lot of streets named after states. One very major street where I live is named Illinois Ave. (but we pronounce Illinois with the "s") The street has 6 lanes.

There are several streets in Boston named for other towns and cities in Massachusetts, and Albany St. is a fairly major artery. Aside from that, there was once a whole neighborhood of streets named for cities in New York. The only survivor of the "New York Streets" neighborhood today is the aforementioned Albany St. The others were lost to an urban renewal project that radically changed the street grid (ironically for Boston, it really was a grid).

Baltimore Ave was once the main road that leads to Baltimore (Baltimore pike becomes route 1).
Much like Lancaster Ave leads to Lancaster (route 30), Haverford Ave leads to Haverford, Germantown Ave leads to Germantown (which was a separate city at one point, etc...

Not really a tribute, so much as functionally descriptive names of the old main roads.

Vienna Street

I'd guess several of those are probably named after people rather than the cities that are also named after said people...but i don't know for sure which it is so i listed them all. We also have a bunch of streets named after states and some named after countries as well.
