Retired geotechnical engineer Doug VanDine spent three years researching the origins of Victoria's 503 street names. He joins Josh & Jade to discuss the influence of local historian Danda Humphreys, the stories he uncovered, the mysteries that remain unsolved, and what street names reveal about the history of Victoria itself. The project is available as a free download through the Victoria Heritage Foundation.
