The corner of Barth & Einstein

Dan Maoz just sent me a picture of a street sign from his neighborhood: it’s the corner of Dr. Aaron Barth Street and Albert Einstein Street.  Or, more specifically, the Hebrew transliterates to Rehov Dr. Aharon Barth and Rehov Albert Einstein.  My namesake was apparently an important enough guy that he not only gets a street named after him, but he gets the “Dr.” in his street name while Dr. Einstein doesn’t merit that distinction.  Here’s the Wikipedia entry on the eminent Dr. Barth.

Oddly, Google Maps and Apple Maps mistransliterate my street name into English in different ways, despite the fact that the correct spelling is right there on the street sign: Google maps calls it “Bart Street”, and Apple Maps calls it “Barrett Street”.
