Yes, Wall Street now is where it was 400 yrs ago when it ran along the wooden wall of the city. There is also mention of Broad Way, another major street in the city, which of course now is Broadway. I don't know much about NYC landmarks, but apparently many are mentioned in the book that have been there since the early colony days. -- Sassenach Musings

In reply to: Margy 's message, "This looks like a great book for my DH for Fathers Day. He is fascinated by New York (and to us ignorant non-americans, Manhattan is New York). I am assuming Wall street runs along this Wall, does it?" on 10:49:08 06/04/05 Sat
