Default On the way home from vacation I passed this...



My wife snapped the pic for me. Yeah, guitarists.

In my neighborhood that was built in the '70s:

Dylan Drive and Zimmerman Court
Simon Street and Simon Court
Guthrie Street with Woody Court and Arlo Court
Baez Court
St. Marie Court
Delaney Street
Joplin Lane and Joplin Court
Allman Court
Russel Court
Jagger Court

Possible connections:
Jude Court (Hey Jude)
Pompey Road (Pink Floyd)

Not to mention:
Nader Street
Ellsberg Court

I've considered building a collage of the street signs as a background for an album cover back panel or inside panel. Cool, huh? I'd have to cart around a ladder to get a good camera angle on them.

Good one, Chitz! You beat me to that one! It came to mind right away. But don't forget, Indiana also has Taylor University!

Of course, there are other cities and towns that are obviously named after our guitars.
