Paul and others concerned-

If I were a guy that can't even get the name on his new book straight, 
I wouldn't take issue with where Tonelle Avenue is.

BTW, Tonelle Avenue is actually Route 1-9 in Jersey City and Hoboken, 
runs through Union City, North Bergen, and turns into Broad Street in 
Fairview. If that's not a main drag, I don't know what is.  Bergen 
Boulevard (unhappily renamed Kennedy Boulevard in Bayonne and Jersey 
City) remains Bergen Boulevard in Fairview, Cliffside Park, Leonia 
and Fort Lee and parallels Route 1-9 until it then joins Rte. 1-9 
just south of I-80.

Paterson Plank Road (yes, at one time it was built of wooden planks) 
crosses under Route 1-9 and goes past the Croxton yard (EL content 
test passed) and past the Meadowland Complex into East Rutherford 
where it crosses over the NJ & NY RR (more EL content...).  Paterson 
Plank Road was built to access many railroad facitiies in the 
Secaucus meadows and was, in early 1900's, a major route to Jersey 
City and Hoboken.

All of these facts are from "my most current" Esso map printed in 1954.
