In later years, when she and "Supey" became more shall we say active it, appears that she was no longer a maiden thus making it appropriate to change this little street to Lois Lane.

"appears" being the operative (and indefinite) word here.

According to the following, what you are suggesting is humanly (and kryptonicly) impossible:

(Warning: rated PG for suggestively-vivid mental imagery)


By this standard, the following streets are also ruled out for Lois Lane renaming eligibility:

UNION St
JOHNSON Ave

.............it travels a distance of one apartment per week on the backside of 417 Main St.

I took the cellphone picture on the right last week and the one on the left today.

Bonus (B)observation (can't find the photos): from my perspective, the sun sets as far south as Essex St at the Winter Solstice. It sets as far north as Passaic St exactly 6 months later.

That would place my personal Hackensack equator in the Central Avenue/Susquehanna tracks area.

While I was looking at the microfiche at the Johnson Library for info about the Holy Trinity polio shots, I copied a couple of relevant pages.

I've just had a chance to look at what else was on those pages. One told of the high concern in Hackensack and Maywood regarding "the Bergen County Expressway" (which I think was later called "the Bergen-Passaic Expressway" and, ultimately, Route 80).

Supposedly, it was to cut through both towns just north of the Susquehanna tracks - specifically, in the vicinity of Central Avenue.

Speculators were trying to buy up property along that street in Maywood while hundreds of people met at the Hackensack Civic Center.

These adjacent articles were on the front page of The Bergen Evening Record on April 21, 1955. The Hackensack article continues on another page, which I don't have.

Hard to believe that anyone thought that was a good place for a highway.
