[edit] Shared street names with the City

I've noticed a lot of street names in Mortdale are taken from streets in the city (Pitt Street, George St, Martin Place etc). I think it's worth noting this in the article, but I can't find a source that states why they're named that way, or if it's even intentional. Does anyone have a light to shine on this?

[edit] Morty

I live in the local area and I've often heard Mortdale colloquially referred to as 'Morty' but this has been challenged and removed by another user. I have found references on the internet referring to Mortdale Hotel and Mortdale RSL as the 'Morty Pub' and Morty RSL. I have also found a few examples on various blogs where Mortdale is referred to as Morty. maybe some other locals can back me up here. J Bar (talk) 00:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Morty is commonly used by older generations in the area. Many of them call the Mortdale shopping centre Morty. Of course, Morty Pub is legendary around these parts for the Mortdale Hotel but I've also heard the people refer to the Morty RSL or 'Morty Rissole'. People often say they catch the train from Morty too, so it's used for the station too. 203.102.44.225 (talk) 04:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I've heard of it as 'Mortdelly' or 'Mortdarl', not 'Morty' though. 124.184.4.74 (talk) 09:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I think all of the nicknames have been used at one time or another. Morty is just one of them.203.102.44.225 (talk) 04:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

A coffee shop in Mortdale advertises 'Best Coffee in Morty'. I'm putting it back in the article. J Bar (talk) 02:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I live in mortdale and never once have i heard it referred to as "Mortdelly" or "Mortdarl." It's always been "Morty" and I've lived here 18 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.133.221 (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
