The Westside has a number of avenues named for U.S. states: Texas, Ohio, etc. Most are not worth writing about – you can guess where their names came from. However, Rhode Island Avenue is worth a mention because, in honor of the smallest state in the union, it is only one block long. Whoever named the street had a sense of humor. It was called Loomis Avenue until 1919.
