Description
Name the Street Contest - WKU has become the proud owner of the section of Russellville Road that runs through campus.
We therefore have the privilege of bestowing the street with a NAME of our own selection, a NAME that will become the Institution's new address.
This will not be as easy as it sounds. Consider the street names that are already in use and cannot be duplicated:
- Cherry Drive
- Cherry Road
- Cherry Way
- College Street
- Collegeview Drive
- Diddle Street
- Downing Avenue
- Garrett Drive
- Hilltop Drive
- Hilltopper Avenue
- Meredith Drive
- Normal Street
- Normal View Street
- Ogden Way
- Old Fort Avenue
- Potter Avenue
- Preston Avenue
- Regents Avenue
- Thompson Drive
- University Boulevard
- Virginia Garrett Avenue
- Westen Street (This rules out "Western")
- Western Green Avenue
The task will require inspiration, mental discipline, fortitude, inner purity, mystical insight, and luck. However, it is possible that just one of the aforementioned qualities could do the trick.
