Thanks! We were wracking our brains!
And the West end on the East side of Texas was Kyle St.
One of the bovine streets of Southside...Aberdeen, Angus, Ayrshire, Suffolk, Dexter, Shetland, Hereford, Welsh, Highland, Guernsey...I think that's all of them.GSS said:

This is solid trivia right here.
I had never considered Welsh as a cattle reference no matter how many times I have driven it.
wow I never put all that together.FearNoWeevil said:One of the bovine streets of Southside...Aberdeen, Angus, Ayrshire, Suffolk, Dexter, Shetland, Hereford, Welsh, Highland, Guernsey...I think that's all of them.GSS said:

Old Jersey still exists, running parallel to Bush a ways, across from the Alumni Center.
I still call it Jersey, and people look at me like I'm crazy.
That's not the only reason

Nice list! Don't forget Kerry though.
Other interesting street name clusters are "the bird streets" (off Longmire near Barron), "the Ivy League streets" (off Dartmouth near Southwest), "the cat streets" (off Glenhaven near Dominik), "the deer streets" (off Navarro near Wellborn), and many more. I could go on and on…
Don't forget the war heroes. Nimitz Street, MacArthur, Eisenhower..,AggiePhil said:FearNoWeevil said:One of the bovine streets of Southside...Aberdeen, Angus, Ayrshire, Suffolk, Dexter, Shetland, Hereford, Welsh, Highland, Guernsey...I think that's all of them.GSS said:

Late '70s. Campus golf course. On the teebox of the hole that parallels Jersey (can't remember the number). Tall hedge-like trees form a barricade of sorts between the fairway and the street. My buddy hooks one into the street and we watch it bounce on the pavement. Next thing we know, he flings his driver and it helicopters into the middle of Jersey.
Not saying it was a sporting reaction. But I grin about it every time I drive that section of GBD.

All the Tolkien streets up in west Bryan too.
I think they should stop George Bush Drive at Wellborn Road and revert back to Jersey or rename it. I would be behind renaming that portion that extends to Holleman Drive: MLK Blvd, to reflect our nation's great heritage or even Juneteenth Drive. The Bush heritage should only remain next to the Bush School, in my opinion. Times have changed greatly. Just a thought.
There is already an MLK in Bryan. You will just confuse people.
Oh come on, Eastgate isn't THAT bad.phillytex24 said:

I grew up on Gunsmith Street in College Station (our house was the first one on the street and it was the south edge of town when it was built). There was an old gunsmith shop operating out of a home in the area owned by a man whose last name was Smith and went by the nickname of "Trigger." Gunsmith and Trigger Streets are the "gun streets" in College Station and named after the original resident there.

Huh? What?
