Miyazaki gives English names to local streets

MIYAZAKI, Japan - A woman in downtown Miyazaki on July 11 stands near a street sign indicating ''Clark Street,'' one of 132 of the city's previously unnamed streets given English names in a gesture of internationalization. The move was in advance of the two-day meeting of the foreign ministers of Group of Eight (G-8) nations that began in the city July 12. Clark Street is named after a missionary who lived in the city during the Meiji era (1868-1912).
