Street Names
Today we went to see houses again. I like houses because their big and have so much space to play on. Some of the sections of houses were all sold before we even got there! There must be lots of people waiting to buy houses too. The best section is all sold except for two of the biggest houses.
Many of the houses looked very huge like there are 2 of them pasted together. When we went for lunch we saw a house with 4 parking lots and 3 of the parking lots were full of cool and powerful cars and the cars cost even more than the house! I also found some facts on the Online Encyclopedia called Wikipedia when I went home;
Alley
An alley or alleyway is a narrow, pedestrian lane found in urban areas which usually run between or behind buildings. In older cities and towns in Europe, alleys are often what is left of a medieval street network. In the British Isles an alley may be a right of way or ancient footpath in an urban setting. In Victorian urban development, alleys were built to allow for delivery of coal to the rear of houses.
Blind alleys have no outlet at one end.
Boulevard
Dutch Bolwerk – bolwark, meaning bastion) has several generally accepted meanings. It was first introduced in the French language in 1435 als boloard and has since been altered into boulevard.
A boulevard is usually a wide, multi-lane arterial divided thoroughfare, often with an above-average quality of landscaping and scenery.
In Toronto, we have for example, Lake Shore Boulevard.
Promenades
An esplanade or promenade is a raised walkway area. Although an esplanade can be anywhere, almost all are alongside the sea, a tidal river or other large water body. This allows people to walk along the sea front, usually for recreational purposes, whatever the state of the tide, without having to walk on the beach.
Trail
A country trail in Slovenia
A mountain trail
A trail or footpath is a pedestrian road mainly used for recreational walking, but often also for bicycling, cross-country skiing or other activities. Some trails are off-limits to everyone other than hikers, and few trails allow motorized vehicles. Trail use has become very popular for a wide variety of users. Some trails are designated as nature trails, and are used by people learning about the natural world. Many trails are designated day trails, meaning that they are generally used by people out for a short hike, less than a day. Trails have lots and lots of uses for outdoor campers and travelers too.
It was fun knowing this facts and going to the houses!
