A year of streets
Following on from the last post, another one about street names. There's quite a lot of South American streets which take their names from dates. I want to see if I/we can compile a whole year's worth.
For example, here's just a handful of what I've found so far: 20 de febrero, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rua 25 de março, São Paulo, Brasil; 1° de mayo, El Calafate, Argentina; Rua 24 de maio, Porto Alegre, Brasil; Straße des 17. Juni, Berlin, Deutschland; 18 de julio, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay.
I've compiled what I've found so far, put them together on a page that I am calling A year of streets.
If you can help fill in the (substantial) gaps, it would be great if you could email me (craig AT flipflopflyin DOT com) or leave a comment below.

Thank you, people. That's great.
And to whoever is the anonymous coward who keeps leave comments about football now and again: grow some testicles and leave you name, you fucking chicken.
There's lots of Rue Du Quatorze Juillets in France, unsurprisingly. My favourite one is in Cognac.
Oh, and about the footy - console yourself with how ugly and awkward the song would sound...
"We won it six times, we won it six tii-iii-iiimes. In Moscow, we won it six times"
Eugh.
