[Talk-br] name of some particular streets

[Gabriel Teixeira]

Hi Andreas,

When I have doubt about the spelling of the name of the street, since in
Brazil we have a number of streets with German, Italian, Polish, etc. names
and also variations, I go to Google and search for the name of the street
and the city name. Frequently Google will correct the spelling and will
give many references as bonus. I also append "lei" (law) to the query so
that I can find the law that gave name to that street or any other law
relative to that street or also I can find lawsuits where one of the
involved lives or works in that street. Many cities have all their laws
online in websites like www.jusbrasil.com.br or www.leismunicipais.com.br
but not all them. Another good source is online phonebooks (
www.guiafacil.com and www.guiamais.com.br). Beware that sometimes even the
laws have spelling problems (probably when the law was OCR'd or retyped) so
try to double/triple check anything.

BTW, I tried this with using Rua d'Ajuda Buranhém as query but I found
nothing. Apparently there is little online about this town.

Regards,
Gabriel
