I read recently that when the city fathers of the grand metropolis New York City planned for the future growth of their city, they laid out the streets and numbered them from the center outward. When they began, there were only six or seven streets. In their planning maps, they projected how large they thought the city might grow.
Reaching beyond their wildest imagination, they drew streets on the map all the way out to 19th Street. They called it "Boundary Street" because they were sure that's as large as New York City would become. At last count, the city had reached 284th Street far exceeding their expectations!
Be careful when you try to predict the future. Today's experts turn out sometimes to be tomorrow's fools.
Note: We were unable to confirm this story. There's plenty on the plans of 1811 but by then the city was larger than what is detailed here.
