As everyone knows, I just love the clever little names that developers come up with for their suburban projects, whimsical titles like Mulberry Farms (with nary a chicken in sight), oxymorons like River Hill and Valley Pointe (I confess I made up that last one but all the rest in this post are bonafide and in my area), and, speaking of “Pointe”, grammatically-challenged misspellings like Park Brooke and Thornbury Parc.
Well, Erin’s Pixie Hollow “
game” is full of names like this. Of course, the Springtime Orchard in this virtual world IS a springtime orchard… not a sterile subdivision full of lookalike homes. Cottonpuff Field is actually a field full of cotton plants not a field full of empty streets and weed-choked lots waiting for the recession to end.
Even the names of the
servers have development names like "Hidden Ridge" and "Sunflower Vale".
Anyway, I’m going to list some names and you tell me which are actual subdivisions in the Atlanta area and which are locations on
Pixie Hollow.
Ivey Falls
Lake Forest
Arbor Meadows
Shady Shores
Rose Hill
Beaver Cove
Grand Cascades
Briar Meadows
Autumn Hills
That’s right. They’re all goddamn subdivisions.
Once again, I'm going to have to pull out of the blog thing. We've got a big kitchen project impending and I'm going to be the main guy for communications for my Cub Scout pack. Not to mention I've hardly got even close to where I want to be prepared-for-the-worse job-wise.
