Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 03, 2012

Worse yet, name streets after trees in the desert.

I think developers have a computer program that spews out cute little meaningless names for them to use when labeling things.

Once lived in a place named River Grove, no river for a hundred miles and the only trees were the one you planted…

reminders…i live in a rather suburban area when i was i teener on a street called “meadow drive”…there may have been a meadow at one time, but it was bulldozed to make way for the coming subdivision…

Around my area, they tend to name them after animals: Deer Lane, Fox Drive, Beaver Creek Road. Then they bulldoze the trees and pave over the creek, driving out all the wildlife.

It’s to let you know how nice it was there before they decided to um, fix it yeah that is it ,fix it

Around here there’s a development of McMansions on what was once a nice 3 acre wooded lot. They call it Oak Grove Preserve. Ha!

…and if they add an “e” to a word in the subdivision name, such as changing “Point” to “Pointe,” they’re able to charge an extra $5 grand per house.

So Pluggers could live there and drive every where. That is why. Every one knows the suburbs were built for the Plugger. They do not walk any where.

Nothing like truth in street names. In West Covina, they built over an old landfill. The entry street is Aroma Drive.

Amen, I’ve often thought the same thing.

Just like the Counting Crows song “Big Yellow Taxi”…. “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot”

I used to live on Corsett ST. in Penna. figure a woman came up with that one.

We have streets around here named after US states because during WW2, American serviceman were stationed in barracks where the estate was later built.

In this area, suburb of L.A., a lot of streets are named after developers, their kids and grannies and uncles and cousins, etc. There are some pretty dumb street names and I have had to spell the one I live on for everybody I told it to for 30 years.
