Beale street is not parallel to Front. It intersects with it.
There is much to Beale Street's history that's neglected here, especiallyt he politicla uses of urban renewal to destroy a black cultural center (albeit one with plenty of rough edges) & remake it as a tourist destination. While it's a fun place in it's new guise, it is also pretty much a mickey mouse version of what it once was. I don't have time to correct it now but will try to return and do so over the holidays.
Whoever is doing it, please stop adding incorrect information. Beale Street was NOT named after Edward Fitzgerald Beale!! EF Beale graduated from Naval School in 1842. Beale Avenue was named in 1841. This is not difficult math to understand here, Edward Fitzgerald Beale was not notable enough at the time to get a street named after him! I've seen plenty of places on the web saying this incorrect information, and all of them use Wikipedia as a source for it. But, IT'S WRONG, so stop adding it back! Otto42 13:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
