Hrm. Most of our streets have spanish names that seem to have been named by planners that don't know spanish. Everything is either "Via something" or "Avenida something". My old house was on Via Escala. To get there you turned on Avenida Empressa and then it was off of Via Mantilla. It's rather silly.

In High School I had a friend who lived on Dorothy Lane. It was off of Emerald City. Yup, every street in his neighborhood was named after something from the Wizard of Oz. I thought it was funny, he never seemed to agree...
