    Yes, I think I mean street, thanks. Can never keep that straight. At least there’s only 1 6th, unlike 5th where there is an ave and a street.

    Be thankful, we used to go up to Fourteenth Street (now Zina Pitcher*), and that was *east* of Main.

    *Who was Zina Pitcher anyway?

    #3 I think Zina Pitcher owned the farm on the land now occupied by the U of M Hospitals.

    Zina Pitcher played a role in founding UM’s medical department in 1850. His portrait hangs in the lobby of the Medical Science I Building – located on Zina Pitcher Place. [photo]
