Subject: What's in a Name??
This is not about music, but Mudcatters are good listeners. Here goes.

I have for the last few months been observing and collecting the highfalutin, pretentious names that developers dream up to christen their latest batch of Condos, Apartments and Town Houses. Some of them make sense. Most don't.

For instance. THE COTSWOLDS. No I don't know what a cotswold is either. Might be a dirty word. "Jake, where you livin now?" " I live at The Cotswolds?" "Whats That?" "I dont know but it is so expensive it must be good".
