There's even a reference to it in =The Music Man=.

Someone once told me there's an intersection in my neighborhood that has a church on each corner, but if there is I can't think of where it must be. Three churches within a block of one intersection (that is, along the block-long arms of the cross formed by one intersection) is easy. I can think of two of those right off the top of my head, so there must be more.

"You mean you live in this town?"
"Yeah, I like it, too. I mean it's not Brooklyn, New York. It's not the City of Homes and Churches and --"
"Brooklyn? Marce, this isn't even Dubuque!"

This is not a new problem, even by the standards of Jerusalem -- see my comment here.
