This Little Piggie Went To Market

by Christina M. Rau

Okay, I’m back on my pig thing….
One, two, three little piggies make five.
OR
1, 2, 3 Little Piggies Make 5.
OR
1, 2, 3 Little Piggies Make 5.
OR
1st Ave, 2nd Ave, 3rd Ave, Lexington Ave, Park Ave, Madison Ave, 5th Ave.
OR
1st, 2nd, 3rd, Lex, Park, Madison, 5th.
This is the latest trick I’ve learned to keep the city straight. While the whole “city is a grid” mantra persists, we know that certain parts don’t hold true to the grid theory. To remember which order Lexington, Park, and Madison are in, just remember the pigs. Sure, the saying doesn’t make much sense, but still, you’ll remember it. Then once you say it a few times, you won’t be able to get it out of your head for a while.
