Note
A regular -s plural, and only ever a noun: the adjective suburban, as in suburban streets, never takes a plural ending. Two quite different things can stand behind the form: people who live in a suburb, and automobiles built with a station wagon body on a truck chassis. Context alone decides whether a line of suburbans is commuting downtown or parked in a driveway.
