Trite Overused Street Names
We in America suffer from unimaginative, but seemingly safe street names. Names that don’t offend. Names that evoke familiarity no matter where you are, wherever you go. A melting pot of homogeneous gray wordage. Street names such as Main, State, Elm, Oak, Lincoln, ad nauseum.
Some Suggested New Names with Focus
We need new street names that invigorate the mind by forcing concentration and requiring articulate communication. Names that can also aid machine navigators such as Google Maps. Here, try these:
- Left street
- Right road
- Straight Ahead avenue
- Up lane
- Back boulevard
- Far court
Directions
You say fella that you want to get to Acme Corporation? Well, that’s easy my long-eared friend. You go down Straight Ahead until you see Old Mrs. Winfred’s house. You’ll know it by her mail box being painted with daisies and such. Make a right on Left and then an immediate left on Right. For about, oh I say half a mile, keep on Right until you see Up. and make a right. Drive on Up to Joe’s diner and make a left on Back. Go on Back for 3 blocks. Acme is on the left. If you see the post office, you went to Far. Flip around. Really can’t miss it. Simple as apple pie.
