I think Jayfield Dr, 3rd Saturday in March, should get a mention...
and all I can think of for Y is "Your mom's house"...
because it's funny.
How about "Youth Hostel: Rome, New Years Eve. 1994" Or any other variation of "Youth Hostel: ..." For me, it would likely be Youth Hostel: Ft. William a week before returning to the US. or Munich after the Hofbrauhaus.
Thornview Drive is filled with old people. Or maybe since I live there only I notice it.
Calen - I really wish I had thought of that. As serious and nice as the post would have been, and as late in the game as Y would have come, that would have been perfect...and Jayfield's a'ight.
Smamy - Sadly, my only youth hostel experience was in Vienna, and that wasn't anything special. Rome was all good and all, but I can't think of anything Y about it.
Slug - Thornview drive next to the rec center is gorgeous when the trees are first in bloom. Even the old people can't poison that.
Y - your grandparents on christmas morning 1975-1988ish
Ame- you are correct that those were good times, but "your" only works if you're writing it. I'd have to put "Ekin Ave", and that doesn't top my current home.
good point.. maybe that's why I am now a science teacher. at least for the year....
Y-MCA
