New Name?

February 19, 1930, Oshkosh Daily Northwestern

 

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.
