Peter, There were quite a few Kivas in the southwest, so in another moment where curiosity became more important than finding the kitchen counter under the dirty dishes, I discovered... Kiva is an underground or partly underground chamber in a Pueblo village, used by the men especially for ceremonies or councils. Here is a link with both historical kiva photo and a modern version as well as more details for the incredibly curious... http://www.answers.com/topic/kivaColette |

Kiva Street, Iselin, New Jersey Until age 12, I lived 3 miles from there, in Colonia, New Jersey. Can't say I visited Kiva Street in my childhood, though. --Diane. |

One of my best friends has a white German shepherd named Kiva. Kiva is probably 10 years old now, so she was around long before www.kiva.org! |

Wow. I decided to do a bit of research on penalties for street sign theft, but found much more interesting stuff on the way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_sign_theftNote some of the reasons why people steal signs, and read some of the names on the pics. I would so be &#%$@ out if I printed some of the words! Also, someone has been held responsible for an accident after stealing the street sign! If you enlarge the first picture of the back of the Illinois street sign, it tells how much the fine is. Thinking that I could make a LOT of loans with that type of money... Some day maybe this information will be useful, right?  Colette |
