Come on people. Nothing in this town - NOT ONE THING - will back up this street name's assertion that at one time the famed Desert Willow roamed the land.
This ridiculous street name matches the plethora of other ridiculous street names indicative of A Little Big City. You'll note I capitalized each word in that phrase - remember this. This fact will be important later on in this post.
Other examples of ridiculous street names:
In case you're wondering - yes, all of these street names (including the first one mentioned in this post) are in the same new subdivision.
The cause of these ridiculous names is obvious - developers are creating property here at a rate too quick to support the clearheaded research and review of potential names. They pick a theme and run with it.
I can imagine this conversation occuring during city development meetings - or whatever the hell they call the meetings where the rich guys get together to decide the fate of ... the universe, probably.
Oh, forgot my colon:
"Hey Billy Bob McRich. Good to see you again."
"Good to see you too David McMoney! Don't you just HATE being rich?"
"NOPE!"
"ME NEITHER!"
"My wife wants to decorate our bathroom to fit a beach theme. Coincidentally, we've got a new development coming up. Let's think of the stupidest possible names and PRINT SOME STREET SIGNS!"
"Sweet Jesus! Hey, don't you just hate being rich?"
"I sure do.... ooooon't! HAHAHAAA!"
I have a feeling my imagination isn't far from the truth.
Oh, remember how I mentioned the importance of the capitalization of a phrase earlier? I lied. It wasn't important.
Did it make you read all the way til the end?

Yes. Yes you did.
I hate the street names with non-obvious or non-standard spellings. Why must they torment us?
