How many ways can you say 31st Avenue? Apparently a lot. On a short walk through the heart of the Sunset, you’ll find 31 ST,  31ST AVE, 31 ST AVE, 31 AVE, and of course the pièce de résistance: 31 EST AVE. With its subtle French undertone, you almost expect it to whisper, “Bienvenue, mes amis.” Très chic for a sidewalk.

But wait, there’s more! Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you stumble across the enigma of 31 TH AVE. Say that 3 times fast! Because who needs grammar when you’ve got concrete?

And let’s not forget its neighbor, 32ND AVE, proudly sporting a backward “D”. A bold design choice or a subtle cry for help? Either way, typography students could write dissertations on this walk.
