<blockquote>
<p><b>Good, Better, Best Streets</b></p>
<p>Consider Good street, Better street, and Best avenue.  The first two ran <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.870591,-87.653732&#038;spn=0.005654,0.008827&#038;hl=en">east from Aberdeen street one and two blocks respectively south of Polk street</a>.  They were only a block long.  The first was rechristened Hope street in 1935 and is now known as Cabrini street.  Best avenue [named Wilton avenue in 1937] is <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=wilton+and+schubert,+chicago,+il&#038;ll=41.930172,-87.652702&#038;spn=0.005649,0.008827&#038;hl=en">two blocks long running south from Diversey</a> next east of the elevated railroad.</p><p>

</blockquote>

<p>It looks like Better street is now known as Arthington street.</p>
