Wikipedia: Sixth Avenue is a major avenue in New York City's borough of Manhattan, laid out in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 and opened incrementally. Although the Avenue's official name was changed to Avenue of the Americas in 1945 by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia New Yorkers remained faithful to the old name. After the name change, the street signs carried a unique design and the streetlights were adorned with "Avenue of the Americas" medallions (many of these were removed in 1992 when the majority of the streetlights were replaced).
