Name your suburban wasteland . .

[doodlemaier]

The volunteers here at Hospice, who overwhelmingly tend to be little ol' ladies, while working on a mailing were remarking on some of the odd names that are given to streets these days and one lamented that they were never on a street naming commitee.

Rolling Meadows Road
Reluctant Hills Farm Lane
Diver Cliff Drive

. . . and certainly many more are named after the landmarks and natural features of the land they now replace degrade. Why don't we give these places more apt titles, like:

Mediocre Place
Chloroflorocarbon Circle
Blistering Asphalt Court
Impervious Surface Plaza
Silt Runoff Way

Just to plant the seed in your imaginations, there are some very creative people out there! Start our own naming committee and stand out from our environment! Help rename your urban and suburban wasteland!

Names should describe a place for what it is, not for what it was . . .
