Talk:City of Pensacola annexations

I have a ton of articles about the various attempts that I will try to fill in soon. Just getting the table set up tonight. — admin • talk  00:04, 18 October 2009 (CDT)

Slight discrepancy

In one of the table items, you have the phrase "15th Street" directing to Lakeview Avenue; Lakeview was 16th Street, and 15th was Avery Street. — dscosson • talk  18:52, 19 October 2009 (CDT)

Are we sure about that? There was a map in one of the articles, and the street labeled 15th seemed to line up with modern-day Lakeview, but I wasn't 100% sure. — admin • talk  22:54, 19 October 2009 (CDT)

Yep. The numbers refer to streets north of Wright. Belmont was 1st Street. Count your way up :-) This is also reflected on the Watson map [1] which lists Avery as "formerly 15th" and Lakeview (which was then Stoddart) as "formerly 16th." — dscosson • talk  09:13, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

Okay, I'll change it. On the map I saw, Chipley Avenue was "1st" and the streets went up from there, but there must have a shift over the years. Thanks! — admin • talk  10:15, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

I think you're thinking of the EPH plat map [2]. I think the EPH streets were numbered separately, as EPH was not in the City when it was platted. You're right, there is a shift of minus one there because Belmont Street does not exist in EPH and the numbering started at Chipley (which would otherwise be la Rua). — dscosson • talk  10:32, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

So it could be Lakeview after all? I can scan the map from the newspaper article when I get home. If EPH streets were numbered separately, then it's the EPH numbering that is relevant here, since that's where the annexation boundaries were being drawn. — admin • talk  11:08, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

Aw, man, I'm sorry... I misread the description... I thought the area went from the airport down to Lakeview on the west side of Bayou Texar... if it's on the east side of Bayou Texar, then 15th is Lakeview... my bad, sorry for wasting your time. — dscosson • talk  11:17, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

LOL, no worries. — admin • talk  11:40, 20 October 2009 (CDT)
