Haripur and Shikarpur in USA.

Some people change the names of the streets and cities and Islamize or desify their names when they talk to you they assume you will know.
For example when I came to USA someone gave me direction to get to a desi store on Rasheeda Blvd. I was thrown off because I was looking for Rasheeda Blvd. Not Reseda Blvd.:smack:. Reseda Blvd . is the right name of the street.
Then in Chicago , Devon street is known as Deewaan Isstreet in desi community.
Then Huntersville is called Shikarpur, Greenville is Haripur. :smiley:
Any other you want to add to the list ?
