Why did the English rename "Gentleman's Way" to "Broadway Street"?

• The English did not like the Native American origins of "Wickquasgeck Trail".

• The English looked at how unusually wide the street was and decided "Broadway" was more fitting than Gentleman.

• The street was transforming from homes into an arts district, so a place for "gentlemen" to walk no longer made sense.

• They were trying to combat the "slang" name, "The Great White Way" that artists were starting to call the road
