| 181474832 | Hey Matt, thanks for all your contributions. FYI that moving an object so that the name renders is considered tagging for the renderer and is generally discouraged. |

| 24640324 | Ok, fixed in changeset/181495274 |

| 181201908 | Is there a storefront here? Usually we only map businesses that have signage and a dedicated space, not for example run out of someone's residence. |

| 24640324 | I had this same question too, so I'm glad I came across this discussion. Just from spot-checking a handful of these houses, none of them are signed with their names and frankly none of them look historic, which makes me think the names are just based off the original owner or something like that. Doing a web search of the names doesn't turn up anything either, at least for the ones I checked. I would propose moving these values to `loc_name=*` or some other secondary tag. |

| 180384123 | A lot of searching, which I'll admit I didn't do for the presidential-sounding ones and maybe caught me out on Kennedy (Monroe, Madison, Quincy, Adams, etc) so thanks for flagging that. There are a surprising number of resources about DC's street names (including Ghosts of DC, Smithsonian Magazine, neighborhood historical associations), but none are even close to comprehensive. |
