"Take this road anywhere."

During your stay in Queens, and you end up on Cooper Ave. you will be fine. This street takes you across Queens, this is a road that cuts through the residents, all the side streets. Takes you anywhere you would like, such as parks, hospitals, and malls.

"Just like 78th ave. Awesome"

This is just like 78th Ave, just on the other side. The great thing about having numbers as street names, is that they go in order. There is a park right down the street to play basketball and baseball, which are great sports to be active in.

"Confusing, Confusing, Confusin"

84th ave, 84th street, and 84th drive. They are all right next to each other, this is so confusing when you are driving, especially if you turn off hoover Ave. & then you have no idea where exactly you are. This can be confusing to tourists.

"very busy road, rushour"

This road is very useful, if you go during the right time of the day, it can get very busy during rushour. Though what road does not? I have not been in this bad rushour ever since Houston, Texas. The rushour is herrendous. It takes you to where you want to go including Market street, which is a road that everyone needs to get on especially the tourists. Take Otis to Gough or to Mint and that can take you to Market street. Stop by the Market Street Cinema, it is worth it.

This is one of the places I stayed at. Its a nice residential area. Not to far from the excitment from the city. Has hills, but than again what part of California does not have hills? The people were really nice, they were the type of neghbors you know. Everyone waves to you when your driving through. Very nice area, maybe a little expensive but it is worth it.

"Very quiet and peaceful"

The loop as they called was like the outcast of Frisco. The only cool thing we did was drift our cars in on the loop. The loop is huge, and it was fun. The residents though were older and outraged by the screaching sounds of our tires. (o-well) The loop was just cool to pass through no real point of going there, my cousins just said it was a fun place to drift at, and so we did.

Its just like how you would see on T.V shows and movies. Great area because you have some distance from the city, but you are close enough to walk to the city. Great place. I am going back to Mint Street soon.

"Industrial road, and gate way."

Mckinnon Ave. was named after Father Mckinnon who volunteerd in the Spanish-American war, then died in the Philippines. This is an industrial road. Has warehouses and businesses. No point to actually go to it, most people just drive through it. There is nothing really to important there just ware houses. The good thing it does, it provides work for thos who are in need to work. The high way goes right past it, so just keep going past it and just look out the window in the car, and that would be good enough.

"General George G. Meade"

Battle of Gettys Burg, General George G. Meade fought in the battle of Gettys Burg, and then moved out to the Bay. Now Meade Ave. is a small road, but an important one to history, and destination. Mead Ave, can bring you to the 101 interstate and get to where you would like to be. It is important for those trips in and out of the city.

This is a small street, nothing really big. Its mainly for residents, but it is a gate way to get into the city, with a main road of Sunset BLVD. Living here would be fun it is an ideal area for those who want to get in the suburb life, and can have the choice of going to the city when ever they please.

"Earthquake in 1906, now named after resident"

I heard about this street from the 1906 Earthquake. This earthquake burnt down a boarding house built by John Golden. Hence the name Golden in John's last name to get the street name. This was his third boarding house. After the fire from the devistating Earthquake, the remains of the property was sold to the bank. Be sure to go through Golden Ct. a tiny small residential area, which was hit by the famous 1906 Earthquake.

goughfamily
goughfamily Charles Hays Gough and Harry O'Brien Gough (identical twins), and their younger brothers William "Thomas" Gough and Harrison "Dorsey" Gough were 4 brothers who arrived early in San Francisco. Charley arrived in July 1849. He named Gough Street after himself and Octavia after his Maryland sister, Octavia Gough Dallam. As far as I know, only Wm Thomas Gough married, but left no children. The 4 gough brothers were my great-great grandparents' first cousins.
