Would anyone happen to know when Alton Road became 23rd Street? I remember people still calling it Alton when I would come up here to visit (maybe 2004-2005?), but I can't for the life of me figure out when it was changed.

Alton Road? Did you mean to post this in the St. Louis forum?

My feeble memory seems to think it was in the 1960s, when Alton was widened from 2 lanes. It took many years for folks to adapt to the new name, thus it was a dual-named road for many years.

You can probably find more info by browsing the "Long Ago on Independence Square" thread, which covers almost all things Independence. I know we have discussed various aspects of Alton/23rd there over the years.
