I have agreed to participate in the 10-Day 5-Min writing challenge. This challenge is sponsored by Kate Motaung and all the info you need to join in can be found HERE! She gives a topic for each day and you spend 5 minutes writing about whatever comes to mind on that subject.
STREET
What a timely topic for today as our HOA had a public meeting last night to discuss some possible changes that would have a major affect on the STREETS of our gated community. Without going into it all, the majority of homeowners bought in Twelve Oaks because it is a safe, and lovely place in which to live.
However, as more STREETS have been added and homes built, the egress and ingress into and from the subdivision has become a real problem at peak times of the day.
We love our little Garden Home section and especially our STREET, and would hate to see anything occur that might make it less desirable.
A few years ago while looking through a friends pictures from a recent trip to London, saw a name that caught my attention.
I knew my Lazenby ancestors came from Great Britain and thereabouts, but it was so exciting that we actually had our name on something. Albeit an alleyway, it is still labeled "Lazenby Court." For my purposes today, it is going to be a STREET. So there!
I have been blessed to have seen some of the most fascinating STREETS in the world.
Savannah, Georgia
Rome, Italy
Jerusalem
Natchitoches, LA is known as the prettiest town in the south, and has one of the oldest and prettiest STREETS in our state.

Of course, being from Louisiana I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most popular STREETS in the country, Bourbon STREET in New Orleans. We haven't been there in years and really have no desire to go back although I would enjoy another trip to New Orleans and its surrounding area. You can find some mighty interesting things and people on this STREET, not to mention some of the best food in the country.
What thoughts and memories does the word STREET evoke for you?

I've been to Bourbon Street a few times in my life. Lucky, I was younger then. I have a monogram necklace that I wear every day from a shop on Magazine St. I can't remember the name of the shop but I remember the street name. Stay healthy, Libby!
