Reply to comment by BasketballButt in TIL in 1996, surveyor Mike Tate got a side street in NC renamed for the band Anthrax. After the 2001 Anthrax attacks, town residents were suddenly uncomfortable with the name and petitioned to have it changed. by aaj617

I hope the name doesn't die totally. It's a great name an reference to Egyptian mythology.
