And does anybody call the 59th Street Bridge the Queensboro Bridge or Sixth Avenue Avenue of the Americas??? Not around here.
Perhaps she's thinking of Union Terminal () in Washington DC or Los Angeles? Cut her some slack - they don't even have real trains in San Francisco. A terminal should be the end of the line, a station just a stop on the line before the terminal. By that def perhaps Grand Central really is a terminus?

Queensboro Bridge sounds right to this out-of-towner, but Avenue of the Americas is such a mouthful you just know it can't be in general use. Is there also a secret name for the Brooklyn Bridge? Perhaps it's know locally as the DanHammer Memorial Bridge?
