Naming Streets


Have you ever wondered who named your streets and why? Aside from Broadway, Main, and the numbered avenues, what's in a street name?  Many are named after founding members of the community. Not much creativity abounds.

Poets and writers should name streets.

Wander your neighborhood and write down at least ten names.  Then come up with a creative plan to rename them.

Make them glow and jump with fun. Show a place with its name.  Twirl a Cat Alley.  Jumping Jack Boulevard.  Skunk Tail Drive.  Race the Hill Street.  Smiling Face Avenue.  Catch a Lizard Lane.

Write a story or poem about a happening on the street you've renamed.
