Listen "From Washington to Roosevelt: Why the streets in downtown Phoenix are named after US Presidents"
Episode Synopsis
We love bringing you stories about metro Phoenix and the cities around us. Whether you’re a native or a transplant, answering your questions helps us discover more about what makes Arizona the way it is.
One question we get a lot is “Why are the streets downtown named after Presidents?”
So as we prepare a special summer series for you, we’re bringing back an episode from the archive to answer this question.
In today’s episode of Valley 101, a podcast from The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we find out how this came to be and what it would take to continue it.
