[Western] Gothic Road Names

[paula hanna]

Salve, Dear West,

I think naming the roads at Gothic is a tremendous idea! And I'm thrilled to be getting a
map! I LOVE maps. Good job, fellas!

Just some food for thought **WARNING - HISTORY LESSON ENSUING**, the word "Boulevard"
doesn't mean "road" in medieval times. Here's a link to an encyclopedic entry: 

http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/BOS_BRI/BOULEVARD_a_Fr_word_earlier_bou.html

Or if you would like the short version, it was a gangplank for mounting artillery, and it
wasn't really put into use until the 1700s. "Avenue" works the same way. It was military
in origin, and wasn't commonplace until way after 1600.

The other road nomenclature (a word that came around in the mid-1600s ;o) I like. Those
other two just sound too modern for me. 

Thanks for listening to the sometime-period-stickler ramble. ;o)
