A conveninent tool for coming up with attractive names for suburban subdivisions.
"Suburban developers evidently believe that everyone in Colorado would prefer to live in a secluded alpine hide-away. Consequently, the words they use to describe the invented "place" these dwellings are "at" typically have no historical or physical context to the actual site itself. Instead, various flora, fauna, landform or Western folklore terms are used in clever combinations to evoke a rustic Colorado setting of unparalled beauty and tranquility. So, when you put it all together, your typical new suburban Denver subdivision will follow a template that gives us fabulously fake names like "The Enclave at Panorama Canyon Meadows" or "The Sanctuary at Antelope Bluff Vista." Of course, there is no canyon or antelope or bluff or meadow, but that's beside the point."
