Week Eleven: Massacre Lane, Scarborough


I think we're officially in spring semester of Freshman year now—I need to do a writeup of that like I did for Fall. Soon, okay?!
So this one, I think, was something I observed during either my first or second summer as an ice cream truck driver. (And before you ask—yes. I have tried to write about this experience. A great many times. There's nothing there.) It's an actual street (or "lane"... what is the difference?) in Scarborough, Maine.
My intent, maybe, was to write a faux history of how it got its name or, more likely, something about how banal suburban life can result in a massacre... of dreams. (I was 19 years old with a penchant for cliché, alright? We all start out this way.)
Maybe I'll begin with some research and see where that takes us...
