Writing from Reality 03-Reverse Street name Surname

UGH!!! STUPID FLANDERS STREET!!!!

Sorry. Just want to give Homer Simpson some closure.

We all know that when we walk across the streets of our hometown, we see surnames like Smith, Seymour, Raymur, Granville, etc.

And wonder about the people who lent their surname to name that street.

SIMPSONS Creator MATT GROENING took a reverse approach where he named several characters after streets in his hometown of Portland, Oregon.

You know the various SIMPSONS's Characters who go by names such as Lovejoy, Flanders, Quimby, Burnside, Kearney, Terwilliger, etc.?

Yeah, Matt Groening took that approach for his characters to name many of his characters.

So that would explain the STUPID FLANDERS STREET joke from above.

I took that joke from a 2019 episode called MARGE THE LUMBERJILL.

Despite being a mediocre episode from an equally mediocre Season 31, I like the fact that it took the show this long to finally acknowledge the Street Name joke.

And yes, I was inspired by this same approach for my own Cartoon.

For example, 

Hayden's family name, BRENTWOOD,

He's named after the BRENTWOOD Park neighborhood in Burnaby, BC.

Ok Ok.

So the character's family name comes from the Skytrain Station....

BRENTWOOD TOWN CENTRE.

The same goes for Mary Lougheed.

She'd named after LOUGHEED TOWN CENTRE Skytrain Station,

The Shopping Mall that's adjacent to the station, 

and the highway of the same name

In fact, The Brentwoods and Lougheeds are not the only families in MARYLANDIA to be named after streets.

Shasta's family...

her family name comes from the Burkeville Park area near the Airport in Richmond, BC.

Delia,

Her name comes from Inverness Street,

A couple of blocks away from the Street that I live in.

No I will not tell you my exact address due to Privacy Concerns but I'll give you a hint:

I live Somewhere near 41st & Victoria as well as close to the Slocan Area.

That's all the hints I'll give out to anybody in Vancouver who wants to meet me in person.
