There is an irritating trend among city planning these days
in which the appellation of relative cardinal direction for a municipality
follows the parent place name instead of preceding it. What the hell is wrong
with (for example) ‘North Squirrel Hill?’ This is the way cities have been
named for decades if not centuries, ‘Squirrel Hill North’ suggests the creeping
hand of modernity and corporate branding for long-existent neighborhoods.
Squirrel Hill North is not a new housing project, it is a neighborhood where
real people live. Talk like normal
fucking human beings- It's called North Squirrel Hill.
