Mr. Boh
We have a bluff?
Yes but it’s always been overlooked.
LOL! Exactly!
HAH
I’m hoping one of our many poets will write a mighty ballad about them!
I’m calling your bluff
I have toyed with the idea of burning your stuff
This is so rough
And it’s as if deserting me wasn’t enough
Well I’ve had enough
I’m calling your bluff

They’re bluffing, right? (groan)
Sorry kids. It’s a cul de sac that’s replacing what was, until a few years ago,a farm where horses still danced.
Was there a bluff then? I feel like there should be some vague relevance to place names. LIke how weird is it that Lake Claire does not have a lake? Nor East Lake! And when I see development names like “Waverly Plantation”, I assume that there was once a great house and vast fields of cotton to pick. And I sure hope that Señor Ponce de Leon strayed somewhere near here. I mean, if “Overlook Bluff does not have anything with a view or a rise, then why the name? Why not Old Arroyo Road? Green Gulch? Riverside Lane? Pacific Drive? Windmill Road? New Jersey Turnpike?
There actually once was a Lake Claire. But it turned into Bog Claire, so they drained it. Now it’s just a figment — sort of like the Overlooked Bluff.
There is a large East Lake. It’s at the golf course. Been there a long time.
It is not necessary to be literal in order to be relevant.
So is “Overlook Bluff” relevant?
cul de sac? new? what’s going to happen in the new cul de sac with the new name, the new overlook bluff?
I hope someone builds an Overlook Hotel there.

Is this what people who don’t watch college football do with their Saturdays?
Apparently.
