Um, could you repeat that address, please?

I ran into this advert for a house for sale (already sold, I guess)

[JiNX-01]

That is great!

Aparently they have to sell that same house every seven years.

 

[Nardpuncher]

I wonder how that street got its name.

^ Don't know, but it's on the map, and I don't see Vasquez Rocks anywhere.

 

[Sector 7]

Apparently, the value of the property has been falling.

My understanding is the property developers come up with the names of the streets.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

That's hilarious.

Aparently they have to sell that same house every seven years.

So, do you think the developers realized what Pon Farr meant? Are there other Trek-themed names in the area? Or was it actually a private drive named by the owners? (If it's rural, it's likely there wasn't a developer and the homeowners owned the land outright.)

 

[Yassim]

It's a shame they had to sell.
I hear that this is the land of their family.
It has been held by them for more than 2,000 Earth years.
This is their place of Koon-ut-kal-if-fee.

CUE FIGHT MUSIC!!

Parties in that neighbourhood must get lively. Dada, da, da, da, da, da, da, dada da dah, dada, da, da, da, da, da, da, dada DA dah.

Yup. And often you'll get a geeky employee who'll slip something in, like this suburban intersection in Ottawa.

The truth is out there.

There's a street near my mother called Warp Drive.

There's a subdivision not too far from me that also has a Scully Drive and a Mulder Drive. Near my parents' house, there's a brand new development (in a town that has always had its streets named after stars and planets anyway since it's a space program town) with the main cross streets being Enterprise Avenue and Voyager Avenue. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me want to live there just a little bit.

Near where I used to live in New Orleans (actually, Metairie/Harahan area), there was a Hickory St, a Dickory St, and yes... a Dock St, all within 3-4 blocks of each other.
