The Size of New York City
Topic : -Evangelist Billy Walked told a story about the city fathers of New York as they contemplated the future growth of the city. They laid out the streets and numbered them from the center outward. When they began, there were only six or seven streets. In their planning maps, they projected how large they thought the city might grow. Reaching beyond their wildest imagination, they drew streets on the map all the way out to 19th street. They called it Boundary Street because they were sure thats all the larger New York City would become. But history has proven them to be shortsighted. At the last count, the city had reached 284th Streetfar exceeding their expectations!
