[edit] Merge
Seems like this should be merged.Mattnt 14:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
They definitely should be merged and my preference is for Manhattanhenge to be the surviving name since the solistice is not the date the event occurs. Americasroof 14:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] East-West Streets
The intro to this article is somewhat confusing because 'east-west streets' would imply an equinotial alignment, not solstitial. In fact it's neither since the 'east-west' grid is not due east-west. It would be better, I feel, to omit all references to cardinal points unless actual bearings are given. Just my 2ยข Akhen3sir (talk) 11:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- That's probably splitting hairs. The east/west reference is more to differentiate it from the north/south streets. The east/west streets are labeled that way (e.g., West 42nd/East 42nd). You are correct they don't line up to the cardinal points and that should probably be made clearer. Americasroof (talk) 16:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
