Where the streets have your name

[Kaat72]

Ever wondered if there is a street, castle, cave or another intriguing thing named after you, anywhere in the world?
There are numerous Marcos, Dans and Peters, but none is named after Kaat. I guess that makes me kinda special Not! It would be neat staying in a hotel in Kaat Street, and having a beer in the Kaat Square

When I was doing disaster relief in New Orleans after Katrina/Rita hurricanes I was sent into the wilds - back bayou's - to look for people to assist. I kept finding streets (when I could find the signs) that had a full name, like Jean Baptiste Lane (eg), that would have like two homes on it. Both homes had .... Jean Baptiste Jr and Jean Baptiste 3rd or a Baptiste relative !! This happened repeatedly. I guess when homesteaders took the land many years ago, they named the roads after themselves.

That's funny! The first thing that popped up was a street (my first name) in the city of Paradise in the state where I live

duh duh duh.........

None have my handle name (gee surprise...) There's a street in my hometown (Meadville, PA) that is named my last name. Actually there are tons of place over the US that are named by my last name.

I tried to look my name up on Google Maps. No streets. Just a bunch of businesses. I looked further and found a street with my name in Brazil.

There's a Kaat Street in Texas, USA. Plenty of roads and streets with "Michael" or "Mike", non in China though.
