Storied what?

Please can someone tell me what a "storied intersection" is/does? I tried working it out using Webster's, but he seems to think (as do I) that the adjective "storied" works best, if at all, on buildings. Then again, my Webster's was printed in the 1960s, and maybe back then they didn't have storied intersections.

More seriously (slightly) and with all respect, might I request on behalf of those of us who didn't learn our English in a certain stratum of the US education system - aka Brits (and I suspect others) - that a more widely understood phrase be used for "storied intersection". And (if you did) thanks for substituting a phrase that I can understand. Best wishes Charles01 (talk) 08:50, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It means "famous". I made the correction. Yoninah (talk) 16:24, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I look horrible grumpy this morning. But I think you've improved it for the readers. Success Charles01 (talk) 16:46, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
