"But I was desolate and sick of an old passion / When I awoke and found the dawn was gray"

Myths ought to be busted. Nonetheless, I'm sad about this one.

It's almost as disappointing as realizing Camino de Calle Road, a street in a housing development outside Tucson, is apocryphal. Ah well.

We still get to complain about the redundancy in the La Brea Tar Pits, though.

And many Avon Rivers...

That's a good one

We'll always have Avon Rivers.

(which should of course be more correctly Rivers Avon, because that's the way round we do it, but hey...)

Well, technically it's Rillito Creek. Which is in some sense even worse ...

Pronounced "crick", I should hope.

Usually it's pronounced "the ree-yee-to," actually.
