"Yeah, it's called 'Cooch' Street, not 'Couch' Street. It's named after this guy Captain Cooch. They called him that because he molested a bunch of little kids." - Some know-it-all on the streetcar, circa 2006. [So if they called him Captain "Cooch", why did they name the street "Couch"?]
The truth: Captain Couch was a pretty cool dude. History does not provide any evidence of him molesting children.
