Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Mexican expression

Here's a fun one for you. I'm translating a humorous, very tongue-in-cheek, personal essay by a Mexican writer about the traumas of growing up in Mexico with a foreign (Arab) name. In this particular section, he is emphasizing the contrast between how people with English names are treated vs. those with Arab names:

"Asi, Paul y Brandon, sin problemas e interrogatorios, diariamente conocen nueva gente, realizan tramites, pasan lista y, en fin, van por estas **calles de Dios** como si fueran Pedro y Juan. En cambio, si uno se llama Anuar las cosas son muy diferentes."

I'm not quite sure of how to render "calles de Dios" in English with a similar tone. Here's my draft English version so far: "That is, every day Paul and Brandon go out and about, meeting new people, conducting business, and responding to roll call without problems or interrogations—essentially, they walk around **these streets** as if they were Pedro and Juan. On the other hand, if you’re named Anuar, things are very different."

I'm not quite sure about the tone--should I be going in the direction of "doggone" or "godforsaken," or something more mild/innocuous? Or just omit the "de Dios" entirely and leave it as "these streets"?
