How do we know that Juliet Street is named for Shakespeare’s heroine? Because there was originally a Romeo Street just one block east. Both were christened in 1897. (Juliet used to be called Gladstone Avenue.) Unfortunately, some dull-witted bureaucrat with no sense of romance killed off Romeo in 1907 by making it part of Catalina Street. Now poor Juliet must pine for her Romeo forever.
