1. "Canal Street"...Goddamn that's ironic.

2. It was named that because of a canal down the center of the street

They later covered over the canal and made an underground drainage system as well. There are still a lot of streets with canals down the center or alongside them. The run all through the residential areas. Except most are probably underwater now.
