Roads

From the day I arrived in Atlanta I have been smiling at the roads I've driven on. They are full of stories. There are many, but I'm going to list here a few of my favorites. Please take time to think about the stories inherent in the names: where they come from, and what they do next.
  • Beaver Ruin Road
  • Sugarloaf Parkway
  • Boulevard Avenue
  • Five Forks Trickum
  • Peachtree (Ave, St, Rd, Ln, Cir, Pkwy, Blvd, Ct, Trc, and about 85 more)
I've written elsewhere about the joys of living fifteen minutes from Freedom and about the differences between the roads in Georgia and those in the West.
