About Costello Avenue Market
Costello Avenue Market is a neighborhood shop at the far connection between semicircular Costello Avenue and Kansas Street. Together with the Public Library at the avenue’s other end, it helps define the shape of this small street loop. The market belongs to the 1958 townscape and serves as a recognizable storefront on the route along Costello. The atlas represents a modest commercial building without attempting to reconstruct its facade, interior, or exact lot dimensions.
Why this pin is marked A
Named in the novel. The street or the site is named in the text; the exact lot is the atlas’s.
The market is marked A because the street geometry is unusually explicit: Costello Avenue curves in a semicircle and rejoins Kansas Street at the market. This fixes the shop to the opposite end of the avenue from the library junction and supports its relation to the route along Costello. The source does not specify which side of the junction contains the entrance, the setback, or the footprint. The plotted storefront and parcel are therefore illustrative even though the junction relationship is firm.
