NANCY There is an area in the suburbs of Poughkeepsie where the streets all have kind of interesting names. The houses were all built by the same contractor, so the first streets were Marino Road and Mainetti Drive for Marino Mainetti. Then the next one was Alda Drive, for his wife, Alda. Oops, they had some problems, so the one after that was Reno Road, and then Memory Lane, supposedly because he missed her. But then he met another lady, so the next street was Carmen Drive and had a daughter, Daria Drive and a son, Alfred Drive. By that time, all the vacant property there was built up and Mr. Mainetti moved on to another development.
I doubt that many people know that bit of history, but it's true.
