Street Names

   My favorite part of small town Ontario are the incredibly cutesy street names. I get to see them a lot at work while I input information, so I'm becoming quite an expert.
   Cute is as cute does, but being the naturally sullen person that I am I started playing a new game at work called, Depressing Street Names. I think its valuable too, because street names like "Lover's Lane" are harmful to the perpetually lonely, which is probably a greater population than the perpetually blissful.
   A healthy alternative to Lover's Lane might be Forever Alone Drive.
   Also, located in somewhere in Ontarian oblivion (probably Brantford or Nepean), is Happy Hollow. A real street! I would prefer Hollow Happiness, because lets tell it like it is folks.
   Last but not least, I stumbled upon Owl's Foot Road the other day. First I thought of changing it to Owl's Head Road, but then I thought, to hell with it, we're all postmodern, why not make it Owl's Small Intestine Road.
   I have a blossoming future in city planning.
