\naming streets after hoods. whats next.
I had a friend in high school whose dad was on the committee to name new streets, so she got a street named for her. I live on a street that appears to be named for someone and I have to explain over and over what the name means.IDK. A lot of street in my area used to be named after confederate generals when it was a village and then became something else when they were annexed into the city. There is a particularly uninspired developer in our area that names his streets after relatives when he builds subdivision, but the problem is he only has so many relatives so you get neighborhoods that might have an Alice Street, Alice Lane, Alice Avenue, and Alice Way all in the same area. It gets confusing as hell in some of the neighborhoods he builds because he also seems to have an aversion to building any straight roads.
Around here streets start off now being named by the property owners i.e. the developer. When the county first went to the new 911 system and all the roads had to be named, a lot of residents just elected to name their road after the oldest person on the road so we have a lot of names like John Powell Road and M. H. Smith Road, etc. The city itself doesn't often change the names of roads anymore because we have been on the 911 system since the get go so it injects confusion. Now they focus on renaming buildings, etc for people.I had a friend in high school whose dad was on the committee to name new streets, so she got a street named for her.
