Words that annoy me more than they should:Main Street

There has been a surge in the use of this term lately, usually in, “wall street and main street” as pertaining to the current economic crisis  I feel that this is another archaic phrase that just has no place in 2008 as it has been used.  This might just be a New Jersey thing, but not that many people really seem to live on Main Street, even if a town still has one.  Main streets seem to be where the stores are, not the homes.  How about saying…”Wall Street and your street” instead.

    Interesting point. There is alot of focus on this. Maybe too much. Folks are looking for someone to blame.
