Reading this short story was like bearing through an entire history lesson on the United States of America, but you didn't understand what the teacher was talking about; Lovecraft just assumed you knew what he was talking about. And, to top it all off, this entire, hard-to-understand lecture is used just to show that, "The Street has a Soul."

Okay, cool, why do I care? What does this implicate? This isn't New Orleans, who cares if your street got soul? ( )

It was not what I expected but it surprised me in a positive way. ( )

Another erm, umm, hmm story. A patriotic Anglo-Saxon street built by the righteous slayers of Indians watches itself fall into the hands of swarthy ethnic men over the course of two centuries and sacrifices itself to save America. Serious race and class problems with this, and not a good story.
