U.S Famous People Street Hollywood Eslpod Points Home

The U.S. has more than one million streets, but some of them have become "household names" (things and people that are very well known by almost everyone).

For example, Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC is sometimes referred to as "America's Main Street." It "connects" (touches two points) the "White House" (where the U.S. president lives and works) and the U.S. Capitol (where Congress meets). The street is home to many important government buildings and "monuments" (statues and other structures that honor and remember important people and events from the past).

"Wall Street" in New York City is "perhaps" (possibly; maybe) the best-known street in the U.S. The New York "Stock Exchange" (transactions related to the buying and selling of "stocks" (partial ownership in large businesses)) is found on Wall Street, which is "synonymous with" (other words for) the financial services "sector" (industry; part of the economy).

Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana is famous for its entertainment options. It is home to many restaurants and bars, and many people go there to experience the "nightlife" (activities that happen in the evening, especially drinking and dancing). The annual Mardi Gras celebration is closely "tied to" (associated or affiliated with) Bourbon Street.

Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California is famous for having the "Hollywood Walk of Fame," or a "stretch" (expanse; distance between two points) of sidewalk with many stars, each with the name of famous person in entertainment, such as an actor or musician. Many tourists go to Hollywood Boulevard in the hopes of "spotting" (seeing briefly) a "celebrity" (a person who is famous, especially in the arts or music) while having their picture taken in front of one or more of the starts on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
