February 20, 1930, Menasha Record
Seems like change was afoot in the Menasha City Council when this alderman suggested renaming Main Street to something a bit more descriptive. I would chance that Main Street is most likely the most common street name in the United States but he must have drunk the Neenah Kool-Aid with the idea of a Wisconsin Avenue-type name in his mind's eye. From my research, I found the above reader of the Menasha Record with some suggestions for him but then the idea must have been dropped as I found nothing more. Too band, it could have made for an interesting contest.
