That's okay, Houston renamed all of the streets downtown with Vietnamese names in addition to the English names. Must make responding to emergencies and mail delivery "wonderful".

I used to live at Lovett Square on Tuam Street (Brazos and Bagby) in downtown Houston.

I could walk to several Vietnamese restaurants nearby.

I always thought Tuam sounded Vietnamese, but it turns out to be Irish.

I haven't lived in Houston since 1992, but it was my home of record for 25 years.

....Houston renamed all of the streets downtown with Vietnamese names .....

I heard it was actually the Asian merchants who did that, in a flourish of patronization of their American hosts, whom they apparently don't deem their peers, but merely objects of colonization. (Renaming streets, and then cities, is colonizing them.) I understand that this matter is being corrected -- or is supposed to be corrected -- and that the merchants have been informed, rather stiffly, that the street signs they'd added on their own nickel are strictly informal, and that the original names remain the names of those streets for every lawful purpose.
