We rely on street names to find our way, but how often do we stop and ponder the stories behind the names? An ongoing project researching the history of Los Altos' street names led by two curious locals is the topic of the "What's in a Name?" exhibition at the Los Altos History Museum, on view through April 7. Visitors also are invited to contribute information themselves, as research continues.
