usage
Generic toponym - countless Chinese cities have a 南街 (South Street), often paired with 北街 (North), 东街, 西街 around an old market or city gate. The pattern is so common that 'I live on 南街' is the Chinese equivalent of 'I live on Main Street'.
culture
When 南街 appears in news rather than addresses, it usually refers to 南街村 in Linying County, Henan - a village famous since the 1990s for retaining Maoist-style collectivization, Mao portraits, and communal property. It's a frequent stop for nostalgic 'red tourism'.
