I agree.
So we honor people like Elizabeth, or Emma, the daughter or girlfriend of the developer. In the new tract developments, the builders pick street names.[/quote]
Total hijack with trivia about my ‘hood…
One thing I like about South UC – Older parts are named after noble prize winners…
Mostly scientists. It was part of the “university” theme of the development when it was first built… the main roads were Governor and Regents – very collegiate. The idea of the development was that it would house faculty and staff from UCSD… even though, at the time, there was no good way to get from UC to UCSD without backtracking to Clairemont.
The original neighborhoods – which are on both west and east sides of South UC have these nobel inpsired street names… stuff built in the late 60’s onward don’t.
