Summary of Deirdre Mask's The Address Book
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The New York City Council has passed laws changing the names of streets all around the city, often focusing on honorary street names layered on top of the regular map. But in 2007, when the council rejected a proposal to rename a street for Sonny Carson, a militant black activist, demonstrators took to the streets.
#2 Street addresses are one of the cheapest ways to lift people out of poverty. They allow people to access credit, voting rights, and worldwide markets. But in the United States, many rural areas do not have street addresses.
#3 I eventually found the sharp, unmarked turn that led to Alan Johnston's gravel road. He and his wife had fixed up a pale blue bus, and he had a good life back in the winding rocky roads locals call the hollows.
#4 Many rural areas in West Virginia have rural route numbers assigned by the post office, but those numbers aren't on any map. They have to be named.
