This book is fun for the Philadelphia resident or visitor who wants to know more about Philadelphia streets and the history behind them. Who knew that Christian Street and Queen Street were both named for Queen Christina of Sweden? Alotta does, and lots more, both trivia and important history.

The book can be read from start to finish, but for those who know Philadelphia, it is more fun to just look up your own street or just streets with what seem like peculiar names. ( )
