Most cities have multiple major thoroughfares, but if you could pick a street that acts as somewhat of a main street, what would it be?

Some examples are Fifth Avenue in New York, Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Peachtree Street NE in Atlanta, Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Market Street in San Francisco, etc.

Feel free to share pictures and/or videos of your city's penultimate and/or main street. It doesn't necessarily have to be the busiest or most well-known street in the city.

I got really confused by this thread, mainly because penultimate means "next to last," so it kind of implies "least important." But in New York, definitely Broadway moreso than Fifth Avenue.

Los Angeles being so decentralized and huge, each area or district tends to have it's own "main" st. But if I had to think of one main artery through the city....I'd say maybe Wilshire blvd, or Sepulveda blvd. Something like that.

You should rephrase this thread.

Atlanta's premiere street: Peachtree

After that: Ponce de Leon

For Columbus it's High Street. Runs from the northern suburbs into urban neighborhoods like Clintonville, along the OSU campus, into the Short North arts district, through downtown and past the State House, into German Village and continues running into the abyss of southern Columbus.
