Ok... this street/road... Was it in fact a road? Or a path? Paved? Unpaved? Brick? Cobblestone? Was it more like a driveway? An entrance? A plaza? A parking lot? Something other than a road but could be driven on? walked on? A monument? A tunnel? A cloverleaf entrance/exit to a highway that was so complicated that people gave up and built a hot dog stand on the side of the freeway rather than try and find their way home? I think I saw a cartoon like that once... | ||
