If you live in the city of Brotherly Love or even have just visited, you may have noticed that most of the streets are named after trees. But why is that?
Don t judge me, though, because it took me living in the area for almost a year and a half to realize that most of the streets you go down in Philly are named after plants.
Some of the names have changed since the 1600s, but originally the names were Vine, Sassafras, Mulberry, Chestnut, Walnut, Locust, Spruce, Pine and Cedar, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. For some reason I always find myself on Spruce Street. They have the best bars in the city.just throwing that out there.
