| Pleasant Alley (until 1914) | |
The name Pleasant Alley was established by a city ordinance in 1881.[1][2] This alley had probably been known by that name earlier, however, since this ordinance changed the name of a different Pleasant Alley to Pilot Alley (later Pilot Way),[1] presumably to fix an existing duplication. It became Pleasant Way in 1914 when another ordinance changed all alleys to ways.[3]
