Literary Possibilities to the Street  Names of Saint Paul

compiled by Bart Berlin (retired Saint Paul Public School teacher;

originally begun as a classroom project then completed in retirement)

When the street namesake is the same as the literary  reference then the actual namesake of the street is listed and credited to Donald Empson’s book,  The Street Where You Live, published 2006 by the University of Minnesota Press. If the actual namesake is not listed then the reference is solely an attempt to provide a literary possibility to the name of the street, not to the eponym of the street name. It is not an attempt to discredit the original namesake. The sole purpose of this project is to bring an awareness of literature while touring or living in Saint Paul. Whenever possible, an attempt has been made to include children’s literature.
