Looking at my old stomping ground, Mount Pleasant (Jack McKay's SMD, in fact, if I'm not mistaken), I see that Brown St and Oak St are colored as 1st and 4th Alphabet, respectively. I'd have said, instead, that the region is still the 2nd alphabet but those two streets don't fit the naming convention.

Also, this talk about the street alphabets reminds me of a poem about Ingleside Terrace that was reprinted in Mara Cherkasky's entertaining book about the history of Mount Pleasant. You can find the whole thing in Google Books by searching on its first line, "Ingleside Terrace is shaped like a bow."
