Some of you need to take yourselves more seriously. Idk who that’s for but that just popped into my head.

Can I be a guest if you do a show on “things that shouldn’t piss you off, but do because you thought about it too long?” That’s my specialty. LMAO

OH! Yeah, I shoulda asked because this is on brand for them.

Not so fun fact: The Carolinas have a very interesting history. But the reason for their Crown streets? During the country’s War of Independence, slaveowners were fiercely loyal to the crown. More loyal than in other colonies.
I'm largely thinking the Carolinas, and they are definitely going regal King with those, and will often also have an MLK street too.

Matter of fact, when @arrogantade.blacksky.app asked when we stopped encouraging people to be thinkers, I wanted to respond with, “Historically? 1776. Because that’s when the Founding Fathers started lying to the Militia Men after the War of Independence.” I wanna be less of a killjoy this year. 🤣

The more folk reply to my streets thread, the harder it’s getting to not respond with, “Yeah. That’s because of colonialism and/or racism.” 🤣

Fun fact! Our King streets are usually named after Dr. M. L. King, Jr. And that’s recent when you consider our nation’s history.

I would say the closest we come to a King street depends on the state & who was instrumental to establishment of said statehood. 🙃
Driving around Ontario with my Dad & my aunt's mom, we see Church St. I grew up on a Church St and comment on how frequently you come across them. My Dad observes how most places have a Church St and a Main St. My aunt's mom chimes in with, and a King St. Which both my Dad and I say, not in the US.
Where people get thrown off is the naming of a street though. And that’s understandable if you’re in a place that uses numbers.

Two things:

1. Have a general understanding of the two Main Streets that cut the city into some sort of grid.
2. Know how the main through streets are determined.

Cuz when he called, he said he was stuck upstairs. And I said, “You talking crazy to her with no legs and YOUR ROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR?! How you got downstairs?!” 😂
This was the right answer to her problems though 😂 why he cuss you out like you were wrong???
LMAO! I forgot I shared this! 😂
January 1, 2026 at 5:37 PM
Oh. That streets thread is also why I could never use the “I got lost!” excuse when I came home late. Streets, City Grids, and Maps have been my thing since I was four. 😂

Correct! If you in an area with a lot of Alleys, those stem from the fact that the wealthy & business class wanted ways for their domestic workforce & delivery men to enter and exit buildings without being seen. Alleys were to keep the streets “clean.”
This thread reminds me that not all cities have alleys.
January 1, 2026 at 4:07 PM
Ha! This is the one I forgot. A “Lane” is usually a Road, but it’s in an urban area. Roads are more likely to be in Rural areas.
This was so dope!!! What about a street name with Lane in it?
January 1, 2026 at 4:02 PM
LMAO! I have family there and Paterson’s city layout definitely feels like the city leaders just wanted people to stop arguing about what things were called. So now everyone else gets to be lost.
Most cities have a Main St or a Bway or a Market St, but Paterson said, "WHY NOT ALL OF THEM?!" & let's make some one way only just for some razzle dazzle 😭😭😭
January 1, 2026 at 3:52 PM
And see! I left the racism out that Streets thread. For now. Y’all better hope I forget it.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This whole exchange made me kick my feet in a little bit of joy. Because urban planning is one of those secret things I love and I don’t really see conversations about the “mundane” aspects of it much. But when I do, it’s like my brain and heart have a lil party! 🥳
Y'all stay clowning our streets, but it makes perfect sense.

Good morning, Y’all. And Happy New Year.

I woke up feeling lighter today. Could it be because I slept almost 10 hours? Maybe. Or could it be because the energy actually feels different? I don’t know but I am glad.

I wonder if @shamtheecreator.bsky.social ever holler for me to get out her phone when I get to sending voice notes? Because the current conversation has me crying. LMAO

My Momma said she wants to go on a cruise next year. And I don’t know how to explain my deep concern for the both of us. I could also be overreacting/overthinking, but I don’t think I am. 😶

I’m laying in the dark giggling at all the reasons I just said, “Nah.” when deciding on going to church.

I feel like if I start listing them, the folk who went to church a lot as children or young adults would understand completely.

Because yes… they are absurd, but at the same time? They not. 😂

I keep seeing that “air resistance” post and I want to ask if he means gravity.

But I don’t want to be disappointed if he says no. Because what?!

I’m setting an alarm for 11:57 PM, so I can do my annual crying while listening to Auld Lang Syne.

I didn’t do this last year and we see how 2025 went. LMAO
