[champion6]

If you work for TV, what is the most difficult job?
Answer: You are responsible for naming all the new streets.

Attached is the current list, 48 pages!

Simple! Just name them Morse 1, Morse 2, Morse 3, Morse 4, and so on.

Non villagers have the cleverest ideas........:duck:

They did that in Atlanta with Peach. Didn't work.

Put New in front of any old name. It worked for
Jersey.

I had no idea most of our streets and villages are named after cities and their streets, in Florida

I like that The Village of Hemingway is across the roundabout from The Village of Hadley. Hadley Richardson was the first of Hemingway’s 4 wives.

It appears that the namers-in-chief followed that Hemingway theme for a short while with Havana and a couple of the villa neighborhoods. And then over in Hadley, they gave a nod to F. Scott Fitzgerald with Gatsby Lane.

The Fitzgeralds and the Hemingways partied together in Paris in the 1920s, along with a lot of other creative types. (But, I know Hadley Richardson would never want a Pfeiffer Place in the Village of Hadley.)

4 wives total, quite a few mistresses, and a lot of famous partying friends — the possibilities for Hemingway-themed street names could have gone further. I wonder why it stopped.

Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas were among Hemingway's friends.

Just think of all the possibilities — perhaps an intersection of Stein Street and Toklas Terrace. (Not to mention the brownies that could have appeared on the menu at Havana. Maybe they could have served them as a free dessert first. Then those people who constantly complain about the food would be really hungry and therefore, much happier with whatever they ordered and could be on TOTV waxing philosophic about their groovy fish entree.)

Oh well, I guess I will never get a job naming TV streets and villages. (sigh) Maybe I will try to get a job naming nail polish colors. Those are really fun sometimes. I am now wearing “Too Yacht To Handle.”

My favorite intersection is Baldwin Run and Bassinger Court. Personally, I’d love to live on Heiny Place.

Don’t know if still the case given Pine Ridge streets being named for TV employees, but at one time a computer named the streets.

Someone there also has a since of humor, there's actually a 1313 Mockingbird Lane, unfortunately the Munsters don't live there.

Simple! Just name them Morse 1, Morse 2, Morse 3, Morse 4, and so on.

I always wondered why they weren't named:

Dot
Dot, Dot, Dash
Dot, Dash Dash
Dash Dot, Dash
Dash Dash, Dot Dot
(and so on)

My road would be:

Dsah Dash, Dash Dash Dash, Dot Dash Dot, Dot Dot Dot, Dot

Does anyone have a text file or spreadsheet of the names? I'd like to see a street listing by Village to see the patterns.

Wonder what will happen the closer we get to Disney?

My favorite intersection [and you can look it up] is Infinity Run and Cosmos Way. I found it on a bike ride before the houses were built. I took a picture and sent it to my son to show him how far I biked.

When I first saw the post you quoted, I thought about the very same thing you are saying here. :)

First house I looked at was on unicorn and twinkle.

Aside from other reasons...that address was too alternative sexual preference for me

[Villagevip]

HILLSIDE LANE, not on a hillside, and not a lane...Sounds nice though...Like the history of LSL....

I love that Brownwood streets are really named after the town in Michigan

[Topspinmo]

No, the most demanding job in the villages is-------------fixing all the entry and exit gates every morning after the drunks break them off!:beer3:

Damn! I’d love to have that address.

Kiesel Drive is named after the Kiesels that lived next door to Brownwood on Torch Lake. One brother had been a judge and the other owned cottages. Quite a pair.
