[edit] Map

Can someone post a map highlighting Western Avenue? I'd like to, but don't have the tools to create one that isn't copyvio.

[edit] Indian trail

I'm removing the highly dubious claim about Western having once been an indian trail. It does not follow the lay of the land at all, instead going perfectly north-south at a distance of exactly three miles from the zero point laid out by the city planners. It would be an incredible coincidence if there happened to have already been an indian trail on that line, but the burden of proof has to be on the people making that claim (I'm not turning up anything on Google, other than links to this article). /blahedo (t) 23:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
