> There's a street in the neighborhood I grew up in called Stoddard Avenue. I used to ride my bike up that street as a shortcut to get home from the river bike trail. It's a fairly short street, but it has a lot of trees and nice landscaping around the houses. I'll have to take a picture of it (the streetsign) sometime...

I have never seen a Grishny Street, but I have seen a Cockbill Street (for that is my real surname). In fact, I saw it in a book.

In "Feet Of Clay" by Terry Pratchett (yes, him again), it is revealed that Captain of the Night Watch, Samuel Vimes, was born in Cockbill Street. I wrote a letter to him asking where he got the name of the street from. He replied that he couldn't remember. Typical.
