<p>Liek0806- Next door in the Palisades is a swarm of streets named after Presbyterian colleges...(note they are listed alphabetically as you progress down Via de la Paz to the ocean) Antioch, Bowdoin, Carthage, Depauw, Earlham, and Friends. These streets cross other Presby-named streets: Haverford, Holyoke, and Swarthmore.</p>
<p>I suspect the developer was honoring the fact that the Palisades was an early site of the regional chautauqua's, essentially Presbyterian gatherings held in the Palisades before it was developed in the 20s...and <em>yes</em> there is a street in the Palisades called Chautauqua, leading up from PCH into the town.</p>
