SF will presumably be rerenaming Chesar Chavez St sometime soon.
It was formerly Army St, I doubt anyone wants to go back to that.
(The only historical reason I can find for the name Army St is that there was a Navy St nearby, and it was a cute pairing, but Navy St seems to have disappeared, if this is true at all).
The street is built on top of Precita Creek, but there's already a Precita St nearby (by Precita Park).
So.... it's up to #SFBA Fedis to come up with a new name, obviously.
This seems like a good opportunity to reintroduce an indigenous placename.
The overall name for the Ohlone subgroup that lived in what's now SF was Yelamu. So how about Yelamu St?
It'd be cool to find a more specifically correct placename. If the Ohlone/Yelamu name for Precita Creek is known, that would be a good choice.

That's me crawling onto the stage at the Elite Club. (Fillmore Auditorium) I was shocked to discover this picture while cataloging Greg Gaar's photos back in 2015. (just noticed my then girlfriend Ann in the background near the speaker.) Get Better, Jello #sanfrancisco #punk #sfhistory

Golden Gate Park, circa 1915
Horses were once a common sight in the Park, there's were 2 large stables nearby, The Park Riding Academy on Fulton & St. Francis Riding Academy on 7th Ave, Here Esther Crow shows off her horse in front of the memorial Museum and Dore Vase in the Music Concourse. #sfhistory #sfmemory #goldengatepark #sanfrancisco
