Keyes Dr → Scott St


My mom swears up and down that I wasn't named after this street, but this was their exit when I was born, so I'm suspicious. It would certainly explain how I ended up on this forum... :spin:

Skeena Crossing Road to Grange Lane (Kingstowne, Virginia). Took this picture Sunday specifically for this thread since I don't normally take pictures of street signs.

Holmes Road → Southern Hills Circle/Drive (Des Moines, IA)



Also, oscar's last picture says Enderts Beach Road, not Emerald Beach Road. Wrong picture maybe? Still plays the same regardless.

My error on the name, the photo is right.

My bad, I just read the caption and didn't realize it was different from the picture. It's fixed.

For my second consecutive "this play changes nothing," :bigass:

S San Clemente Street → Easter Lake Drive (Des Moines, IA)


1995hoo

Easter Lake Drive to East Executive Avenue. The new sign says "Park" instead of the historic name, but the presidential motorcade still uses it occasionally. I remember my father using that road before it was closed after the Beirut bombing in the early 1980s.

To be clear, "Executive" is the basis for the next play.



Picture taken this afternoon. The sign on the other end of the block says West Executive Avenue, but there were too many tourists over there to get a photo. That street was closed during World War II.
