Steven Botterill's list of saintly California toponyms is an unexpected
blessing, although sunshine in the Bay Area is not at all unexpected.
But I'm curious about 'Antonio'. I'm pretty sure that San Antonio, Texas,
is named after Anthony of Padova and not Anthony Abbot. Is the California
Antonio--and where is it? I'm a native son and should know--also named
after the Franciscan Anthony?
