There is a brass placard informational marker embedded in the sidewalk at the intersection of Union and Main Streets in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee. It reads:
Union Avenue
Contrary to popular belief, Union
Avenue's name has nothing to
do with the Civil War. The street
was the southern boundary of
Memphis until 1850, when the
city consolidated with the rival
city of South Memphis. The street
was named to commemorate the
union of the two cities.


Union Avenue takes the spot of Reading Railroad on the standard Monopoly board.
