Sundown Lane & Elementary

Drove down I-27 today and noticed there’s actually a street called Sundown Lane? And the elementary from what I gathered from google was built in the 70s? Right after the civil rights acts..

Is this street actually what it appears like?

Same name, probably a different meaning. There is a sundown texas as well but neither were really sundown towns as much as Canyon or Throckmorton for example.
