Reply to comment by technicalityNDBO in TIL in 1996, surveyor Mike Tate got a side street in NC renamed for the band Anthrax. After the 2001 Anthrax attacks, town residents were suddenly uncomfortable with the name and petitioned to have it changed. by aaj617
I hear that Los Angeles named a whole 50 square block section after them!

Apparently the (official) boundaries are in the 50s, so I’m gonna do the un redditor thing and say that you’ve corrected an LA native haha. I swear I remember seeing 90 somewhere.
Oh and the official name is actually the Toy District. Though you’ll never hear anyone call it that lmao. Skid row.
