NAMES OF AVENUES

In referring to avenues of the city, in order to prevent confusion, the present names have been used. For the benefit of St. Anthony or Minneapolis pioneers wo many be residing elsewhere and are not familiar with the modern avenue system, and also as a matter of general interest, a list showing the original and the modern names of the avenues will be valuable. The nomenclature of the streets is the same as in the early days.
