Anybody who is still interested in the topic of naming new rail stations
will probably be fascinated by the discussion reported in today's issue of
the "SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER " under the title : "Name that light rail
station":
Sound Transit seeks new ideas for 7 of planned system's stops

By JANE HADLEY, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/transp...transit24.html

sarcasmYes, it was so nice of our local transit agency to publicize
this/sarcasm.

Did they really think regular *people* (i.e., potential riders)
wouldn't want to comment? And this article appeared what, four days
before the deadline? Fortunately I read it and mailed in my
suggestions.

Incidentally are there only two streets in
London which have fractional numbers in them?
(Balls Pond Road and London Wall)

I think there's one in Barnard Hill, N10. Also,
The Vale in Childs Hill has a number 0.

pedant I'd say that end of The Vale was in Golders Green.

So would I, except I prefer the name of Childs Hill so use it wherever
vaguely feasible.

Funny, this Childs Hill topic coming up again. I used to live at the
corner of Finchley Road and Platt's lane, NW3, and could never get a
satisfactory answer as to what neighborhood I lived in. Hampstead
wasn't quite accurate, neither was West Hampstead. Some suggested
Childs Hill, others said that wasn't right either. Posting on USENET
five years ago got me nowhere--I wonder if anyone has a better idea
today? :)

By the way, thanks, John Rowland, for your reply to my original post
which was "only 54 months late." I never did think I'd find out the
answer to that question, let alone stumble upon the thread again after
so many years!

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Only on the west (other side) of Finchley Road IMHO...

Complex branched cul-de-sacs always seem to have the lowest number on
one side of the sole entrance, the highest number opposite, and every
house one higher and one lower than its two neighbours (Leigh Hunt
Drive in Southgate is an example of this).

Talking of which, does anyone know what used to be where Leigh Hunt
Drive is?

Ah thank you. my other half lives there and I did wonder. I had an idea
it was army barracks or a hospital or somesuch.

In the Aviva Hotel ;-)? (original site)

Yes, after it was converted to flats! Still a mezzuzah on the front
door though. Or at least there was 4 years ago.

I'd call that Child's Hill but anything further up Platt's Lane, or
Kidderpore Avenue feels like Hampstead to me.

Thanks. I notice someone else posted "Fortune Green" which was another
suggestion I heard, but as someone else posted in reply, I always
figured that was restricted to the west side of Finchley Road.

So maybe I'll start referring to it as Child's Hill (and see if anyone
knows what I'm talking about! I'll probably still have to call it the
far western edge of Hampstead.)
