How many streets are named after rock bands in El Paso? That’s a question that we’ve asked from time to time and the answer always seems to be “none”.
However, that might have changed thanks to a FitFam post that went up this week that shows a few streets named after some very famous rock bands in El Paso; 2 bands from the 90s & one very famous band from the 60s & 70s.
That’s pretty neat that the next time you go to the far east side in El Paso, you can find streets literally named “Sublime St”, “Nirvana St” & “Credence Ave”. It’s a different spelling, of course, but you definitely think of Creedence Clearwater Revival after seeing the name of THAT street.
Now are these three particular streets named after the bands, or are they used because they’re common words in the dictionary? It’s probably the latter in this case, but come on… you certainly could NOT think of the rock bands with the same names.
Are there any street names in El Paso that are named after musical artists?
Yes & no. There are some streets found around El Paso that might make you think of some famous rock bands or musical artists with the same (or in one case, a very similar) name…
