References to Main Street are all the rage these days in the presidential campaign and in the debate over the financial crisis.

All the time, it’s Main Street this and Main Street that.

Main is not the most common street name in America. Second (or 2nd) is. Main is only in seventh place.

I used to live on Main Street — in two residences, actually — but I don’t anymore, so I don’t give a damn about the people who live there. I only care about us folks on Easy Street (as I figuratively call my street).
