I do think that extra 'e' makes things oh-so-classy, don't you, Citizene Carriee?Eric Easterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535369798458596223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084144703351548082.post-10725913723993327552009-02-19T16:43:00.000-06:002009-02-19T16:43:00.000-06:00Blogger ate my original comment, so if it shows up...Blogger ate my original comment, so if it shows up at a later time, I apologize for the duplicate.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the random subdivsion name generator! I never knew they existed, but I should have figured it out.<BR/><BR/>Around where I live, the subdivisions from the 1970's and 1980's have names that remind you of the bucolic English countryside, like Rolling Meadows. <BR/><BR/>In the 1990's, and for $100,000 to $250,000 more, you could move into something that sounded like a genuine English village, like, Twyckenham Estates.<BR/><BR/>During the last days of the bubble, for $250,000 to $500,000 more, you could move into a sub that sounded like a Las Vegas resort, like Bellagio or Venezia. Really classy, huh? I guess you're supposed to think of Italian marble tile in your very own palazzo.Citizen Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481323943813270047noreply@blogger.com
