Last night, after sending my earlier message, we had dinner with friends. I mentioned your question about Evergreen St. in Wyoming. One of our friends said there was an evergreen St. in Wyoming when he was a boy. It ran south from Burton St just west of Clyde Park Ave. It is not on the current maps , so its name must have been changed. It is in the Lee School district. That is a small but still current school district with its own schools, elementary thru high school. Once again I suggest you contact the GR Public Library.
