Zuzu Circle
From Pittsburgh Streets
(Redirected from Bailey Park Avenue)
| Zuzu Circle | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Allentown |
| Origin of name | Maybe Zuzu Bailey, a character in It's a Wonderful Life |
| Bailey Park Avenue (until 2021) | |
| Origin of name | Bailey Park plan of lots, named for Bailey Avenue |
This street was originally laid out as Bailey Park Avenue in 2012 in the Bailey Park plan of lots.[1] The name of this plan comes from nearby Bailey Avenue.
When the street was dedicated to the city in 2021, its name was changed to Zuzu Circle.[2] It may be named for Zuzu Bailey, the youngest daughter of the main character George Bailey in the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life. The name Bailey, shared by this character and the plan of lots, strengthens this association.
Zuzu Circle is the alphabetically last street name in Pittsburgh.
