May 26, 2025 - Street Names in the Mount View Neighborhood of Mount Holly (Dinner to start at 6:30)
Did you ever wonder why Mount Holly has a street named Bong Terrace? Or if we have a Tinker Drive, where are the streets named for Evers and Chance? MHHS member Ian Johns will describe the people behind the street names in this section of town between The Mount and Fairgrounds Plaza.
Note that tonight will be our last official meeting of the season, during which we celebrate with a potluck supper. Bring a side, drinks, or dessert.
