New page for some?
okay then- Bob Seger- Turn the Page. On a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha. You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before, But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do. When your riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do And you dont feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through. Say, here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page. Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road, You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode. Most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can. Oh the same old cliche, as that woman on her a man You always see my number, you dont dare make a stand. Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page. Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away, Every ounce of energy, you try and give away, As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play. Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed, With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head, You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said. Now here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page. Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. Ah here I go, playing star again. There I go, there I go. |

Sometimes I'm dragged down by negativity. Then I come here to the longest thread for a breath of fresh air.
|
My searching has perhaps not been longest enough yet, but my preliminary conclusion is that Yonge Street in Toronto may be the longest street in the world. I will ask my Torontonian cousins if they can unbiasedly confirm this.

Are you measuring it by the length of the street or the amount of time it takes to get to the end of it?
Are you considering streets, roads, boulevards, and avenues? |
gg,
those are the same questions I asked when my boy asked me earlier today "dad, what's the longest street in the world?" So after searching the question, I would say me and most sources would use "length of street" rather than any time factor. As far as your second question, I would consider all of those "streets" and I believe my search sources would also take that position. My kid asked me if Broad Street in Philadelphia is the longest, since they know it goes from the most southern end of Philly by the Philadelphia Navy Yard, straight as an arrow north to the farthest northern line of the city at Cheltenham Ave, where it ends...but I know that's not the longest. Then my boy asked me if there was a road along the whole length of the Great Wall of China...pretty good idea for a question, but I'm sure there is not a road/street along that wall. After searching google...which I'd consider a reasonable start though not necessarily always the absolute best/correct answer, google mentioned Yonge St. |
Fascinating.
Your son sounds like an intelligent kid. |
Thanks, gg. Yes, luckily both of my sons are pretty smart kids, and my daughter is a genius. Must be something in the water around here...or radon in our basement...the boys are quite large, too, though they are not the longest kids I've ever seen.
So our beloved "not so longest" Broad St. is ~12.4 miles long...not all that impressive I'd say: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...roadstreet.jpg |
A nonsequitur,
but benignly imposing, what time can it be? |
You brought to mind a Simon and Garfunkel song - Hazy shade of Winter.
I would post the video but this library computer doesn't allow me to do that, so here are the lyrics. Time, Time, Time, see what's become of me While I looked around for my possibilities. I was so hard to please. Look around, Leaves are brown, And the sky is a hazy shade of winter. Hear the Salvation Army band. Down by the riverside's Bound to be a better ride Than what you've got planned. Carry your cup in your hand. And look around. Leaves are brown. And the sky is a hazy shade of winter. Hang on to your hopes, my friend. That's an easy thing to say, But if your hopes should pass away Simply pretend that you can build them again. Look around, The grass is high, The fields are ripe, It's the springtime of my life. Seasons change with the scenery; Weaving time in a tapestry. Won't you stop and remember me At any convenient time? Funny how my memory skips Looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme. Drinking my vodka and lime, I look around, Leaves are brown, And the sky is a hazy shade of winter. I haven't seen Philly since 1989 but I remember those roads. I remember a road called "Street Road." I think it was on the way from my Grandmother's house in Hatboro, to my Aunt's house in Pottstown. |
Here you go ring, I can post that for you. Paul Simon wrote this one in 1967, same year they made my E-Type and the year I graduated from high school...ahhh, the good old days, good music, too.
ring, as you may also recall, if I said it before, I work one block north of Street Rd. and about 1/4 mile north of Hatboro. When I was a kid, this area was all farmland and woods, and our Boy Scout troop used to go camping up here. I remember on these camping trips first coming across the street name and laughing until our guts hurt about "Street Road". |
Maybe somewhere,there is also a street named road.
It would be fun to tell people I live on 'Road Street.' Thanks Nick. |
You know I have a picture I posted here once of "Ring Road" ;)
|
I was raised on Beaver. Beaver Road, that is...
|
This is a true story:
I lived in a town called Beaver Dam, and the name of the local square-dance group was called, 'The Swinging Beavers.' I didn't know what my parents were chuckling about 'till I was older. |
We will be just rock,
when done with our busyness; why not understand? (Still & wondering.) |
ha!
|
But, laughing has always been
so regularly appropriate and it always will be so. |
even just smiling is quite nice
|
I have some smile lines
I don't remember getting and raising eyebrows. |
I love my furrows.
|
mountains have pretty furrows.

a few ring dings:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ingdingbox.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...c/full_jpg.jpg http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/arc...eases/2008/37/ Just a couple of days after the orbiting observatory was brought back online, Hubble aimed its prime working camera, the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), at a particularly intriguing target, a pair of gravitationally interacting galaxies called Arp 147. The image demonstrated that the camera is working exactly as it was before going offline, thereby scoring a "perfect 10" both for performance and beauty. The two galaxies happen to be oriented so that they appear to mark the number 10. The left-most galaxy, or the "one" in this image, is relatively undisturbed apart from a smooth ring of starlight. It appears nearly on edge to our line of sight. The right-most galaxy, resembling a zero, exhibits a clumpy, blue ring of intense star formation. The galaxy pair was photographed on October 27-28, 2008. Arp 147 lies in the constellation Cetus, and it is more than 400 million light-years away from Earth. |
I like rings.
I prefer wearing one at a time. This has become somewhat limiting since marriage. I wear my wedding band every day. It's pretty. I like it. I may start wearing two rings. The key will be finding rings that compliment the wedding band. The band is like this, but with a blue topaz. http://www.love2have.co.uk/images/TR23.jpg |
that's a cool design. I'd buy that. not for me.
|
Maybe impertinant:
Te quiero mucho. -----Added 31/10/2008 at 09 : 50 : 02----- Allow believing whatever we want to be because we can be. |
priddy....
|
I need more adventure in my day.
|
I need more day in my adventure!
|
My day should adventure more need.
|
Children with good brains
will beat those which don't have them unless beaten first. |
lazy rainy saturday.
|
Gorgeous pictures, thanks BadNick.
|
Vertigo Verdigris.
Would that be a good name for a band? |
