Ypsilanti's Historic Four-Named Street


Just south of downtown there's a street with 4 names intersecting with a street that has had 3. What's the story of these 2 streets and their 7 names? Read about it in YpsiNews!

If you guess that Dusty D got a li'l frisson of delight at the chance to use the word "tetranomial," you would be correct. :D

Reader-Suggested Topic: Ypsi's Lost Water Springs

Down in the "Skribit" widget in the sidebar, which is a suggestion box, a kind reader wrote,

"The 6 springs that comprised the Ypsi water system - YCUA was formed, & they were buried...where?"

This is a really interesting question and a good topic. DD will be at the Archives tomorrow and I'll start researching it. It might take a few days to pin it all down, not more than a week I'd say. But stay tuned for a story on this topic and thank you to the person who suggested it!
