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.
. 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. ![]()
Any other you want to add to the list ?
