Ayd Mill Road? Nusbaumer Drive? Quirnia Avenue? Xina Park? If you've ever wondered about the origins of these and other St. Paul streets and landmarks both well-known and obscure, you should love the new, expanded version of "The Street Where You Live" ($19.95), a 1975 book long out of print. It's written by historian Donald L. Empson, with contributions from his wife, Kathleen M. Vadnais.
