The Maxwell Street Market (Chicago)
During and after the period of Jewish predominance, the area was colloquially known as "Jew Town." Although there were many fine stationary department stores located there, the area's most notable feature was its open air market, which was the precursor to the flea market scene in Chicago. One could almost buy anything there, legal and illegal. The old Chicago Police Academy on O'Brien Street was adjacent to it.

Get the pough town mug.paper town is a made-up place used by cartographers to test for plagiarism. they will put fraud locations on their maps so if it shows up on other maps, that means another cartographer is plagiarizing.

Get the II TOWN mug.The former reference to the City of Vallejo. Pioneered by North Bay underground Rapper 40 water aka Fonzerelli Bellafonte aka Earl Stevens aka E 40. Now dubbed 'The Block'(for its numerous city blocks of clicks), V-Town is seldom used by Vallejo citizens, but will remain a retired classic that will always hold the weight of the home of The Crest (Cuddiville), The Ville, The South, Rancho, Hillcrest, T.T. West (Tree Town), Sea Side, Lofas, The Hills, Simmerons (Good Crest), College Park, Terrace Park and Beverly Hills.
