Woodley Gardens in Rockville has streets named after flowers and trees while Rockville neighborhoods near Twinbrook Parkway and Veirs Mill Road have streets named after World War II U.S. military officers — including, who famously answered a German surrender request with a single word: “Nuts!” — and World War II battles: Midway, Coral Sea, Ardennes.
