   Here's Nola.com news post from 2011:   
      
   "Sixty years ago, on April 19, 1951, the city celebrated another rebirth for   
   the thoroughfare (Tulane Ave). Dubbed "The Miracle Mile," changes included   
   widening it at the expense of its neutral ground, eliminating the streetcar   
   line and forbidding left    
   turns."   
      
   and another about the same street:   
      
   What was once known as the "Miracle Mile" has needed a miracle to bring it   
   back to its former glory.The Tulane Avenue corridor is poised for a   
   renaissance and thanks to several recent sales, area businesses have hope that   
   their time is now.   
   Back in it's heyday, Tulane Avenue was the major artery into New Orleans from   
   Jefferson Parish, but when Interstate 10 was built in the early 70s, that all   
   changed.
