Street names are tiny memory palaces
Atherton street names carry fragments of the town's older identity: Fair Oaks, estate families, Spanish-language geography, practical public-works routes, and the quiet residential pattern that makes the town feel different from neighboring cities.
The game is about public geography, not private gates. That keeps it fun, useful, and neighborly.
