Trees are favorite names for streets.
Besides trees, streets are named for all kinds of reasons, fruits, directions, flowers, birds, Indian tribes, ancestors, landmarks, then some create a wonder. There is School, College, Hill Gate, Grove, Brook, River, Mine, Park, even Reservoir, Darn, Bridge, Quarry, Bourbon, Bishop, Padre and Church. Many towns name their streets for the states. There are many Wisconsin Avenues about the nation. Maybe there is.
