The rules for the Strange Whispers say if you are in a street area with this token during Arkham Encounters phase you must have an Exhibit Encounter. If you are moved to the street during an Arkham Encounter and that street has the Strange Whispers must you still have an exhibit encounter? After all, it is still the Arkham Encounters phase.
Strange Whispers and moving to the streets
My guess is "yes." Clearly, the reason that the encounters specify "if you move to a location, have an encounter there" is that street encounters weren't possible. Well, they are now.
Following that logic, this should also apply to Tasks that have street-space requirements. In that, nothing in particular happens, but you can mark off your task. Likewise, an investigator should be able to enter a Lurker street-gate like they would have at a location. And let's not forget environments like "Estate Sale" that allow you to buy items when on a specific street phase during Arkham Encounters.
If you also have decided that clue collection and monster encounters are triggered at your new space, then there's now a whole swath of possible activities in the street, rendering the "if you move to a location" clarification archaic and obsolete.

Seriously, Tibs, I think you covered all the bases there. Why don't you get a job with FFG and sort out all their problems with expansions and forethought.
Actually, I left out Rumor payoffs because I was grouping them in with Environments.
But yeah, it would be a fun job certainly, and would appeal to my sense of organization and hypotheticals. But for now my work must be in quasars.

Haha, cool. If I had to pick the next best thing after working with FFG, it would definitely be quasars.

As terrible as that was, I actually got a good laugh with it. ::laughter::
