Weird suburb in Rogersville
More of an observation than anything as someone who didn't grow up around here, and writing this pretty drunk so hopefully it's coherent. I've been thinking about it all day. I'm a delivery driver in the Springfield area and today I found an isolated suburb at the edge of Rogersville by the water tower that has street names like Independence Dr, Declaration Dr, Patriot Place Dr, things like that. It also has a primary school right there on the side of the neighborhood. Just really odd to me, even as someone who's become pretty accustomed to seeing weird stuff on the job. I've delivered to newer suburbs all around the area for awhile now, and you can usually tell it's new because of the themed street names, but this was just a whole new level. I looked into it (which came first, the chicken or the egg) and it seems like the majority of the neighborhood was built in 2016-17, but the school as far as I can tell was built in 2008? I don't know if the heat was getting to me today or what, but I cannot stop thinking about how strange it was to me, from the layout of the neighborhood around the school to the street names. Anyone else know the area I'm talking about and has any context?
