I have an interest in the names that developers give to houses, especially in cities. For instance, older apartment buildings along Beacon Street in Brookline are often named (here's one: the Metropole) as are newer developments. I plan to explore these further.
But I was biking in Woburn, not way out in the suburbs, but out there, and had to stop and take a picture of a new subdivision going in:
Meadow View Farms. That's interesting, because as far as I can tell, there is no meadow, there is no view, and there is certainly not a farm. And the web address (the site shows a flowing field of wheat—which we don't even have in the northeast!) includes estates—there aren't any of those either. Just McMansions.
