STREETNAME MISSIONS


And that place were named after trees.  And that place were named after flowers.  And that place were named after planets.  That place were named after zodiac signs.  That place were named after what else?  And the place were named after mountains and volcanoes.  You'd find Sierra Madre, Batulao, Mayon, Kanlaon, Arayat.  Taal, Pinatubo  and should I look for Mt. Everest somewhere?

It was kind of wonderful and confusing at the same time how streets were named after countries in Europe.  There was Greece, Italy among others.  I'm sure you can find France somewhere or maybe Denmark or Finland.  And if some unsuspecting friend would ask you where you've been,
you'd just tell them, "I've been to Greece yesterday.  It was wonderful."  And that friend would or might take you seriously, he or she might walk away puzzled.

And at another place, streets were named after virtues.  You can find Justice, Integrity and Fortitude.  You can also find Wisdom somewhere too.
