Re the claim that this is the oldest continuously inhabited street - this seems like one of those claims that is almost impossible to prove; one of the oldest might be better.Cinnamon colbert 12:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC) In any event, to make such a claime without citation is nonwiki

Well in Philly it's commonly referred to as the oldest street in America, but if you look at the website for it (http://www.elfrethsalley.org) it only describes it as "one of the oldest". There is a page for a street in New Paltz, NY which also claims to describe the oldest street in the U.S.; it's called the Huguenot Street Historic District but the page doesn't seem to be documented any better than this one.
