Baloney Boulevard (Broadway)

Syndicated newspaper columnist Walter Winchell (1897-1972) introduced the term “Boloney Boulevard” in Life magazine on September 28, 1928, in an article titled “Along the Main Stem”:
   
“Then he ankled into the club proper and waited for his ‘heart,’ and those of us on the sidelines thought it was the most different romance we had ever witnessed along Boloney Boulevard.”
     
The Broadway nickname—usually spelled as “Baloney Boulevard”—is of historical interest today.
