They owned a home in 1920s-early 30s which was 336 East Grant St., Phoenix. But sometimes, I think later in the 30s I noticed they have it listed as 336 East La Patria St., Phoenix. Is this actually the same property? Was the street renamed at some point? Later my relative sold the property and again, it is listed as 336 E Grant St. very confusing. I cannot find a La Patria Street in Phoenix.Teresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950437540562774462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582571784391063912.post-67819924839979085052022-03-13T12:27:54.609-07:002022-03-13T12:27:54.609-07:00You're welcome, Sara!

Soon, residents fought the name of the road because they thought the mountain range was too far away for it to be named Superstition. Years later the Arizona Farm Bureau asked the county to rename the road Riggs after the legendary family that farmed the area. Maricopa County agreed and decided to name it Riggs Road. groovyshellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15085768683125307762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582571784391063912.post-27315486121663336632016-04-16T09:23:44.260-07:002016-04-16T09:23:44.260-07:00Cheryl Drive was named after one of the developers...Cheryl Drive was named after one of the developers daughters<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296563908444297590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582571784391063912.post-88786367045414322202016-02-16T09:12:32.415-08:002016-02-16T09:12:32.415-08:00Awesome post!
