Happy Thanksgiving

And a Happy Thanksgiving to those who have went
But were once fair citizens of Butler and Kent
Of Franklin and Hudson and Bayard and Mott
We're glad we knew you and miss you alot.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to those who have gone
But once walked the streets of Chestnut and Swan
Of Roebling and Emory and Ashmore and Broad
We're glad we knew you and thus we applaud.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to those now away
But once dwelt among us on Clinton and Dye
Of Elmer and Fulton and Whittaker and West
We're glad we knew ya,you were the best.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to those now far flung
But once lived among us on Morris and Washington
Of Beatty and Conrad and Anderson and Rusling
We're glad we knew ya of you we sing.

And A Happy Thanksgiving to those far from us
But once hunted for parking on Hamilton and Cummings
Of Chambers and Division and William and Genesee
We're glad we knew ya and sing of ye.

And A Happy Thanksgiving to those now afar
Bur once sat among us on Woodland and Charles
Of Liberty and College and Cove and Hewitt
Happy Thanksgiving to the old Burg and all who knew it:)



OK I aint Shakespeare LOL. But Happy Thanksgiving to my
readers and folks from the Burg area 2010:)

I have been fighting the urge all day. but it must be said:

Hey Mac, you missed a few streets!

:) :)

All in jest and you put a lot into that and it came out so well!

I don't think I missed any streets in my Burg. The cube AKA Hamilton Chambers Liberty Broad.
If I did...name em:)

I include adeline and grand on the blog as in my opinion by the 80s they sorta became a part of it but they are optional.

As a outlander, it seems like there was the "core" Burg and peripheral streets that fit in because they didn't fit elsewhere? Bismark and Deutz, Tyler, Home? Places like that?

And Mac that was said in jest, what was that thing from astronomy that the edges of a great galaxy are in flux?
