Name Game Pointless Prize

Is there a street or place that bears your name? Or maybe a coffee shop? Anything at all?
For this prize, the goal is to find a location or an establishment that bears your name (even in mutated form), ride there, and take a picture to show you were there. Please note the location, too.
It can be your first name or last name or nickname or Forum name or any other names you go by. If your name has a meaning or translation, feel free to find something connected. For example, my first name is Cynthia… there’s a Cinthia’s Bakery on Columbia Pike. It’s a Greek name meaning Goddess of the Moon so I could also visit Moon Street in Alexandria. My middle name is the name of a cigar (yuck) so maybe I could find a store named after the cigar. And my last name is Palmer. That’s a toilet tissue dispenser designed for high-traffic public restrooms (yay?) so maybe I could find a storefront that bears the name of the Palmer TP company. I could also go with my Forum name, Wheels&Wings, and find places or establishments that have wheels or wings in the title.

If you can’t find anything that bears your name in any form, then try your letters backward or scrambled, or try just your initials. Some names are far harder than others, but use that to your advantage… you’ll get bonus points for creativity! Post your findings on this thread. Multiple submissions welcome.

Optional hashtag: #namegame

A well known building to those who travel through Tysons Corner. The bar/restaurant in this building used to be called The “O” Lounge, but no longer.

I had to travel to Tysons for a dentist appointment, and I discovered this street in Vienna named for me.

The word dominion is from the Latin “dominus”, lord. In both religious and secular uses.

What can’t Steve O do? He’s a saint; he makes sushi and creole food; hotels, churches, streets, parking lots, art galleries, salons…even pipes and steel!

I finally found my name! Ok my friend Mark found it for me and took me there on a detour to lake Needwood today. So I thought it only fitting to put him in the picture.
