[PRCo] Re: Names______

[Bob Rathke]

I lived in Bethel Park within walking distance of the Brookside stop on
36-Drake.  There was a street sign in front of our house - one side  of the
sign identified our street as Greenwald St., and the other side of the sign
said it was Greenwald Road.  All of the other signs on our street said
"Road", so that's how we addressed the mail.
