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.

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.

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.
