<P> It is also common in some places to shorten the name of streets which have long names . For example, many streets named for Massachusetts are often referred to as "Mass Ave"; Boston's Commonwealth Avenue is often called "Comm Ave"; Manhattan's Lexington Avenue is often simply called "Lex" and Madison Avenue, "Mad"; Charlottesville, Virginia's Jefferson Park Avenue is simply "JPA"; in Williamsburg, Virginia, Duke of Gloucester Street is often referred to as "DOG Street". In Chicago, Lake Shore Drive is commonly abbreviated to "LSD". In Portland, Oregon, Martin Luther King, Junior Boulevard is abbreviated to "MLK Jr . Blvd ." (although in Chicago, Martin Luther King, Jr . Drive is always called "King Drive"), and the Tualatin Valley Highway west of Portland is often spoken of and written as "TV Highway". In Toronto, the Don Valley Parkway is commonly referred to as the "DVP" (and jocularly the Don Valley Parking Lot due to high congestion). In rare cases, highway numbers may be used as shorthand for streets that have (or once had) such a designation . An example of this form of shortening is the common reference of Hurontario Street in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, as "Highway 10". </P> <P> In Paris, Boulevard Saint - Michel is affectionately known as "Boul'Mich". North Michigan Avenue, Chicago's most famous shopping street, is also occasionally referred to by that name, but is more commonly called the Magnificent Mile . </P> <P> In Berlin, Kurfürstendamm is also well known as Ku - Damm . </P> <P> Some street names in large cities can become metonyms, and stand for whole types of businesses or ways of life . "Fleet Street" in London still represents the British press, and "Wall Street" in New York City stands for American finance, though the former does not serve its respective industry any more . Also, if a theatrical performance makes it to "Broadway" it is supposed to be a very good show . "Broadway" represents the 41 professional theaters with 500 or more seats located in the Theater District and Lincoln Center along Broadway, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City . In London, a top surgeon with a private practice is liable to be referred to as a Harley Street surgeon even if she or he does not actually maintain an office in Harley Street . Also Saville Row is a world - known metonym for a good tailor . The cachet of streets like Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue can prove effective branding, as for the Buick Park Avenue luxury car, and Saks Department Store being always known as "Saks Fifth Avenue". In the opposite way, 42nd Street still symbolizes a street of pleasure, but also sin and decadence . Like Wall Street, Toronto's Bay Street represented Canadian finance and still serves it today . </P>
