A Photo Tour Of The United States
|
Introduction | Many cities use a naming scheme for city streets in order to make the street arrangement easier to remember. Minneapolis has a number of segments where street names are in alphabetical order. In other areas, names of trees and famous generals are used. One that interests me is the series in the northwest metro area that is named after US States, and a second group named after US States in northeast Saint Paul. Here is a photo tour of those street signs. |
