A tourist asks why the street has that name. A local never wondered. Be the one who wonders.

Living somewhere teaches you to stop asking about it. A visitor sees a name on a sign and wonders who that was; you have walked under it four thousand times and it has become furniture. Nothing was explained to you, you simply stopped noticing that it had not been.

Choose one thing about your own town this week and find out. Who the street is named after, why the factory closed, what was there before the supermarket. Half an hour online or one question to somebody old enough to remember, and the place you live gets noticeably more interesting for the rest of your life.
