“Dzidzilalich” has been proposed as an honorary name for the new Elliott Way in downtown #Seattle, and for Alaskan Way from Elliott Way to S Dearborn Street. I'm glad to see the name return to our waterfront, but couldn't we have done better than "Elliott Way" for the new road? https://www.writesofway.org/dzidzilalich-return-seattle-waterfront-honorary-name-elliott-way-alaskan-way/ #Lushootseed #Duwamish #Suquamish #Muckleshoot #StreetName #StreetNames #NativeNames #NativeAmerican

I feel very silly for not having mentioned @writesofway in my #introduction post, as my blog ( https://writesofway.org, which focuses mostly on #Seattle #StreetName #history ), touches on so many things I mentioned in it, including #onomastics #LocaHistory #history #maps #cities etc.… but there you go. Anyway, if you’ve ever wondered who W Commodore Way and what W Dravus Street were named after ( just to take two streets in my neighborhood, #Magnolia ), check it out…

So, on that note!

I write a daily post about a #streetname in #Prague or #Praha, explaining how the #street got its name and a little bit of its #history. Don’t worry, posts are not in #Czech, but are hopefully interesting if you want to learn about the history of the #CzechRepublic, #czechoslovakia, #centraleurope or just plain #Europe. I’m currently covering #Prague2, specifically #Vinohrady. And there are some pretty interesting stories!
