Sidenote: I thoroughly appreciate the use of normal-sounding street names in this development and I feel that will assist in it feeling like a been-there-forever district. Aldrich Street, Simond Avenue, McCloskey Street, even Zach Scott Street, etc. ...these all sound way more real to me than the stupid shit mass homebuilders peddle like Soft Seafoam Drive, Inspiring Dew Lane, Lone Stallion Chase, Via Rosa Rojo, blah blah blah. (FYI, I totally made that whole second batch up  ). |
My sister lives on a Nijmegen Drive in "one of those neighborhoods". The street is named after the Dutch city. It's pronounced Ny-meg-gan

All the streets in my neighborhood are named after deserts. Libyan, Mojave, Sahara, Gobi, etc.
I'd rather street names be named after historical figures or places (local or not) than some cheesy name like Oak Glen or Whispering Pines.
