Does anyone know who I can speak with to get a history of Government Street? As in, was it ever the main street before Douglas became the TCH? Has it always been the same length, from Bay to Dallas? Any significant events ever happen, as in a major fire?

Nice list VHF. A good source for a reporter to do some research.

Was Government Street the city's main street? No doubt:
