So, why not a street that represents the large Hispanic and Caribbean population?</p> http://bostonist.com/2006/08/10/avenue_de_las_americas.php#comment-288652 http://bostonist.com/2006/08/10/avenue_de_las_americas.php#comment-288652 Comments Fri, 11 Aug 2006 12:56:18 -0500 <p>Is the idea to have the place names be sort of Spanglish? Why not "Avenida de las Américas" and "Parque de las Américas"?</p>
