The OS Ranch Foundation Mu seum, which displays the private art collection amassed by former Post Mayor Giles McCrary, opened Saturday. The collection includes art — both familiar and exotic — from McCrary's travels over the past 12 years. In addition to the porcelain rep tile and Russian boxes, there are ebony wood sculptures from Bur ma and Faberge eggs. "A pack rat is what I am," said McCrary, a native of Fort Worth. "This was for my personal plea sure . . .to get things that I was interested in." Said museum curator Marie Neff, "He's a very discriminating pack rat. He gets only the neat things that would really pique your interest." Street names in 3,500-year-old city recognize various events, places THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — To get to your neighborhood gro cery in this 3,500-year-old city, you may have to rave the Valley of the Ghosts, cross the Bridge of Life, or pass by Gates of Justice. Forget about Main Street. The street names here betray a fiery history of war, conquest and politics mixed with religion. The Way of the Prophets leads to Words of Truth, alley of the Crucifixion Street crosses Gates of Mer cy. Mule Drivers Street, named for a World War I British brigade, runs into Ghetto Fighters, which memorializes Jews who fought the Nazis. On the biblical Hill of Evil Counsel, there is Those Who Are Hanged Street, named for pre-state Jewish underground fighters condemned by the British. Despite its name, a popular meeting place in the old walled city is the Dung Gate, called so after a nearby dump. It's not far from the Way of Suffering, more popularly known by the Latin name Via Do lorosa, the route tradition says Jesus took to his cru cifixion. Imagine living on Every Generation Has Its Preachers Street — origin unknown. Moshe Piro, who has been affixing street signs here for the past 30 years, said at least 70 percent of Jerusalem's 2,000 streets have been paved and named since Israeli independence in 1948. Open an Israeli map of Jerusalem and show it to a Palestinian; chances are he won't recognize some of the names. Street names are contentious anywhere, but particularly in the Holy City, with its clash of re ligions, cultures and peoples.
