春假和朋友開車出去旅遊時，由於事先只決定中途休息城市，
我們的如意算盤是--我們有萬能的GPS，屆時再隨便輸入一個地址就好，
等到真正開到那個地址後，再搜尋附近有啥餐廳可吃飯休息。
我們先輸入了Main Street (感覺就像台灣的「中正路」一樣，到處都有)，在前面某幾個城市屢試不爽，
沒想到，開到某個城鎮後，竟然沒有Main Street！我們大驚！
後來我又胡亂提議，於是測試了King Street, Maple Street..blablabla..
最後是數字的街道名才成功！
回到家，我很好奇，於是藉由google大師的幫助，
我找到了the most common street name in the u.s.!!
答案很令人驚奇喔！竟然不是Main Street！而是 Second Street！
為什麼呢? 因為在每個城市城鎮的Main Street通常後來會被改名..改成啥Park Street, Oak Street, Maple Street等等..
於是 Second Street 就躍升成為最普遍的街道名啦！
很有趣吧？！:)

這個有好玩到..
Great minds (Cindy and Sheldon) think alike!
Dr. Sheldon Cooper: "Here's a fun question. Do you know what the most common street name is? The answer is tricky. It's Second street. You see, you think it would be First Street, but in most towns First Street have eventually got renamed to something else. You know, Like Main Street, Broad Street, Michigan Avenue."
