Rue D'Amours

There is a street in Longueuil that my sweetheart calls the street of love  and at first I was skeptical.  Thinking that maybe this is a popular secluded area for young lovers.  It was not until we pulled up to the street sign that I realized that the street was actually named after love!

My sweetheart proceeded to tell me that only a hand full of people in Longueuil really know of its existence.  It is hidden by a miniature forest of trees and shrubs and almost looks like someone's driveway at first glance.  The only way someone would stumble upon it is by just driving around or exploring.  I was quite amused by this and wondered what other hidden streets are waiting to be discovered?

I found that after living here for even this small amount of time that the street names are numerous.  They range from animals, to plants, to bugs, and to people.

When exploring the streets named after birds, my sweetheart told me that there was no street named after pigeons.  He explained that they were not of the right class.  I thought for second about structural systems and could not help but be amused.  Then I asked about eagles and wondered if there was a street named after them.  He answered that they were too high of a class.  So, I concluded that depending on the location in Longueuil, the name will reflect it depending on its own class! Who knew that animals, and birds and such would have these social classes as well!

Still, I never would have imagined a street that was named specifically after love!
