Pages about streets and local buildings don't have to sound like
tourist guides.  They can be encyclopedic too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Street
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masjid_Sultan

The articles above need some work with citations, however you will
find numerous examples from Europe and North America where streets and
local buildings have articles on them and their history.

An example would be a project undertaken by Wikimedia UK called "Monmouthpedia":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/MonmouthpediA

Replicating this kind of project in an Indian city is possible, but
may be difficult given the lack of coverage of minor topics in books
and on the web.
