To the Side of Route 28

When you’re not driving, you have more time to notice the passing roadscape.

Just to keep these driving directions clear, please remember that when you take Route 28 North towards Falmouth, your actual driving direction will be to the southwest, and when you take Route 28 South, you will be traveling to the northeast. Any questions?

There are some good road names along the way.

What happened to whose toe for the street to get a name like this?

It’s such a relief when subdividers leave the clichéd street names for more creative nomenclature.

No “Elm Street” here, folks.

My high school chemistry and physics teacher once told us about a subdivision where the streets were named after folks such as Watt, Ohm, Faraday, Tesla, and Galvani. What a charge, to name a street after Faraday! Drive down Faraday Street, take a left on Tesla, and you’ll soon be Ohm.

This next street name leaves a nice, uh, impression, wouldn’t you say?

I first thought, when looking at this name, that Van Gogh had spent too much time in the south of France to have made any snowy paintings. Wrong. He didn’t make a lot, but they’re nice ones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_with_Snow

We passed an orange fire hydrant.

Orange?

OK

Wait! Now they’re blue?

But wait!! Now they’re red!

And what’s that, up in the road ahead?

My wife says it looks like a tooth…

But we agree that it’s a heart, and must have something to do with Valentine’s Day.

Which is only a month away.
