Streets of Jerusalem

• Ronald Eisenberg's "The Streets of Jerusalem" (http://www.amazon.com/Streets-Jerusalem-Who-What-Why/dp/1932687548 ) explains almost every Jerusalem street name. Who knew Afodi was an acronym? (See http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/06/lanes.html and http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/06/windmills.html) )
• Now if I could just find a book that tells what the names used to be. Shlomtsion HaMalka used to be Princess Mary and Heleneh Malka was Queen Melisandeh (I wish they'd left that Armenian princess with a street honoring her), but what was Palmakh?
