Perhaps for the same reason Briarcliff turns into Moreland, whatchacallit into Rocky Ford, etc?

Thanks UDog. I am familiar with this street (Robin Street from McDonough to Atlanta) because when I first started teaching at DHS in 1976 and I worked the football games, the so called tunnel under the 1953 stadium addition was always open (people could walk under the stadium- there were no gates). Why? I was told that “this is a road that cannot be blocked”. Sometime in the 1980s, gates were added to closed off the tunnel.

Did it terminate opposite E Maple St? If so, wonder why E Maple was not also Robin? Or why was Robin not W Maple (there is no W Maple)? E Maple is also an old street name.

Today’s White Street (interesting name) did not exist or connect to Electric. There was a street, it may have been named White St., that continued from the westernmost section Greenwood Circle, then turned and mostly paralleled Robin and Greenwood and extended east to what is now the driveway connecting the upper and lower parking lots of the high school. It dead ended at Robin St. at the football field.
