Which Direction Would you Choose?
Well, if you get lost in this neighbourhood, at least you will do so with a smile on your face! Makes me wonder how they derive at street names at all. Do they pick them out of a hat? Do they base it on the Mood of the Day? Really, how it works is that all street name requests are proposed by land owners (developers of the subdivisions) and have to be approved by City Council because of the strict naming guidelines (including the regulation on bilingualism).
A few other quirky Ottawa street names include:
Paul Anka Drive, Arizona Avenue, Mozart Court, and Owls Cabin Avenue.
Have a Bright and Sunny Monday, everyone!

I love this photo! Wouldn't it be great to live there, just to tell people you live on the corner of sunnyside and brightside!
The streets all around the base in Comox were named by Elementary School kids... who chose names like Thimbleberry,Salmonberry, Oceanspray and Rose...
