Reply #14: That's one of those "conundrum" questions that falls apart [View All]

[Redstone]

in the face of logic and a bit of knowledge:

1) Parkways were called that because they were nicely landscaped, so you felt like you were driving through a park. the word has nothing to do with the stationary meaning of the word "park."

2) A driveway provides a way to drive off the street and into your yard. The fact that you 'park" your car after you've driven on the driveway is immaterial.

So, next time someone asks you that question, you'll know the answer, won't you?

And I hope you'll thank me for it when you do.
