What's in a STREET name?

[Mr. Bloom]

OK, the "What's in a name?" thread has evolved. Let's see what comes of this...these are great!

In Memphis, there is a major road called Getwell. The Veteran's hospital is located on Getwell.

The name of the street was changed in WWII...the prior name of the road was Shotwell.

The city wisely didn't think that the VA hospital shouldn't be located on Shotwell.

in that light... many of the locals find it slightly amusing that my office, Corps of Engineers, is on Leake Avenue.

Now, in New Orleans, that's funny and sad at the same time!

The address of a PBS station in Richmond, VA is 123 Sesame St.

Even PBS has some humor...

Apple's address used to be 1 Infinite Loop.

I remember a lot of those with programing my Apple IIe!
