What an odd thing to be upset about.

“Douglas Fir Pine Acres” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

It’s better than so many churches named Bethany which typically means “house of figs” or “the poor house”

Meanwhile, getting directions in Atlanta:
Take a right on Peachtree St, then a left onto Peachtree Ct. go down about 2 miles until you get to Peachtree Blvd. Turn left and drive down to Peachtree Ave. the place your looking for is at the intersection of Peachtree Pkwy and Peachtree Ln.

Eventually we all have to choose a hill to die on. I suppose, odd as it is, he’s chosen this one.

It's neighborhood names that are the worst at this.
The Golden Years
Billy Collins
All I do these drawn-out days
is sit in my kitchen at Pheasant Ridge
where there are no pheasants to be seen
and last time I looked, no ridge.
I could drive over to Quail Falls
and spend the day there playing bridge,
but the lack of a falls and the absence of quail
would only remind me of Pheasant Ridge.
I know a widow at Fox Run
and another with a condo at Smokey Ledge.
One of them smokes, and neither can run,
so I’ll stick to the pledge I made to Midge.
Who frightened the fox and bulldozed the ledge?
I ask in my kitchen at Pheasant Ridge.

Spent a summer in ATL and this is 100% true. One of the most annoying designs ever.

Interesting to see oaks that far north in Alaska

There are peach trees in Atlanta, and almost as many Rockbridge roads as Peachtree roads.

If this drought continues, a lot of places will be renamed Rainproof, or Sahara.
