(My street sits between an avenue and a drive; the avenue is a tad wider, but otherwise they look about the same.)CGHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789097361138861462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-23443636073431687552012-02-23T09:49:12.843-06:002012-02-23T09:49:12.843-06:00Oh, I don't know about that, Toejam.

All of us are going to pay, though.<br /><br />It's sort of like dinner with a few of my friends.

It's an ordinary suburban roadway with absolutely nothing distinctive about it. There's another "avenue" in town, which for almost all of its two-mile length has junkyards on both sides.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04266094188872421777noreply@blogger.com
