bike up that street as a shortcut to get home from
the river bike trail. It's a fairly short street,
but it has a lot of trees and nice landscaping
around the houses. I'll have to take a picture of
it (the streetsign) sometime...

I wrote a letter to him asking where he got the
name of the street from. He replied that he
couldn't remember. Typical.

Because of RinkWorks, I know that there is an

Back when I was young and rebelious, I permanently
borrowed a street sign or two. The only one that
I kept is my last name and is currently hanging on
my shed out back.

Tra "I seem to remember getting a Howard St. at
the same time. It's an intersection. There are
two streets. It's a package deal." nio
