Yeah, Rouse hired "The Name Lady" to name all those streets. One person was responsible for all that.

One of my faves is Pale Orchis Court. Orchis can mean either "orchid" or "testicle".

Columbia was the first place I moved to after I got out of the Army. It was still quite young at the time and it was interesting to watch it grow.
