Little OT..but did you know there is no "J" street in the District? Do you know why?

Too many address errors because I and J look similar in handwriting. Even today people will spell it eye street sometimes just to be clear.

While this is the real right amassed, the better answer is L’enfant hate John Jay and his treaty with Brits, and being a typical Frenchman refused to have his initials on street !

 

that is a much more fun reason!
