Many readers probably know the term NIMBY. For the rest of you, and particularly the foreign-language readers, NIMBY is an acronym for &#8220;Not In My Back Yard.&#8221; As defined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/nimby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dictionary.com<\/a> NIMBY is&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;&#8230;used to express opposition by local citizens to the locating in their neighborhood of a civic project, as a jail, garbage dump, or drug rehabilitation center, that, though needed by the larger community, is considered unsightly, dangerous, or likely to lead to decreased property values.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The term has become somewhat of a personal inside joke during my formulation of articles for 12MC. I&#8217;ve attempted to write a NIMBY story for years and I always get about fifteen minutes into it before dropping it. I can never seem to make it flow well. Maybe I&#8217;ll write that article someday although for today I&#8217;m going to punt once again and take a slightly different twist on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nimby Lane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/export\/embed.html?bbox=-78.8671374320984%2C40.44715934196677%2C-78.8598418235779%2C40.45189469736729&amp;layer=mapnik&amp;marker=40.44952706137477%2C-78.86348962783813\" style=\"border: 1px solid black\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br><small><a href=\"https:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/?mlat=40.44953&amp;mlon=-78.86349#map=17\/40.44953\/-78.86349\">Nimby Lane; Jackson, Pennsylvania, USA<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of providing examples of NIMBY behavior I thought I&#8217;d focus on a few people who live on streets named Nimby. These had to be some rather special residents as I thought about it, who acknowledged their passive-aggressive behavior with a healthy dose of irony. Good for them! What&#8217;s the expression? &#8212; something about the first step in solving a problem is accepting that one has a problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First I discovered Nimby Lane in Pennsylvania. It was funny because a humongous 4-lane highway was in its figurative backyard. I wondered if the residents had fought the battle and lost or were collectively thumbing their noses at other nearby people who had fought and lost. It was quite the paradox, and of course 12MC <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=4923\">loves a good paradox<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Church<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I noticed an odd little map symbol just to the west; I wasn&#8217;t sure if it was a person kneeling in prayer or a tabletop microscope. Was it a place of worship or a laboratory? It took some digging on OpenStreetMap to confirm that it was indeed a <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.openstreetmap.org\/wiki\/File:Place-of-worship-16.svg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">place of worship<\/a>. Some additional searching determined that this was the site of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chickareeunionchurch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chickaree Union Church<\/a>, &#8220;The Jesus Saves Church&#8221; That led me to wonder when one would use a Christian cross symbol versus a person kneeling in prayer. I know we have some OpenStreetMap contributors in the audience. Perhaps one of them could enlighten us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Explorer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The name of the highway also provided a tantalizing point of trivia since we&#8217;ve already veered along an unrelated tangent once again. It&#8217;s not difficult to derail me. It was labeled US Route 22, the Admiral Peary Highway. That seemed like an odd choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Robert_Edwin_Peary.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/21\/Robert_Edwin_Peary.jpg\/552px-Robert_Edwin_Peary.jpg\" alt=\"Robert Edwin Peary.

Later research showed that he probably missed it by quite a few miles although he certainly garnered significant fame during his lifetime for his achievement. He was born in Cresson, Pennsylvania. That was <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/sBEpCzb4nx372ZvF9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">less than 20 miles away<\/a> from Nimby Lane. Clearly a lot more had happened in Nimby Lane&#8217;s backyard than met the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nimby Drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d3380.058965219625!2d-81.08343631737101!3d32.094692000000016!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x88fb9e8590a9e30f%3A0x4e8d0755625298f8!2sNimby%20Dr%2C%20Savannah%2C%20GA%2031401!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1588714454959!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nimby Drive in Georgia seemed less clear-cut. It was located within a nascent golf course community at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/theclubatsavannahharbor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Club at Savannah Harbor<\/a>. Actually I wondered if it might have been nothing more than a cute placeholder name. The residential area, at least on the most recent satellite view, seemed to be in the early stages of development with a street grid and very few houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was funny because the back yard was a golf course and usually people like golf courses in their back yard. In fact I think that houses in golf course communities commanded premium prices? Maybe it referred to golf <em>balls<\/em>, as in it might be nice to live near a course except for the places where a wicked slice could send something crashing through a window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/metaviews\/4350536948\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4053\/4350536948_045f53e10c_b.jpg\" alt=\"Sam Snead hanging out in Savannah.

I wondered if there might have been a local connection like I&#8217;d observed with Admiral Peary in Pennsylvania. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveabout.com\/sam-snead-biography-1563762\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nope<\/a>. Snead was born in Virginia and died in Virginia. Apparently it was simply a tribute to a legendary golfer instead of a local connection. Snead was not in their back yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d804.7545923616689!2d149.1271119268811!3d-36.21474845201154!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x6b3da7de34d63a43%3A0x1df7189d449ea43c!2sNimby%20Pl%2C%20Cooma%20NSW%202630%2C%20Australia!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1588716617321!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found a couple of Nimby Roads in New South Wales, Australia. I&#8217;ll have to defer to the Australian readers to determine if NIMBY is actually a thing there or not. I got the distinct feeling that neither road referenced the acronym, though. They were found in areas where roads carried aboriginal terms so it probably meant something innocuous in a native language like &#8220;pleasant view&#8221;. I could be completely wrong. I made that up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nimby Road in Cooma actually had a rather lovely backyard, the <a href=\"https:\/\/visitcooma.com.au\/activities\/north-ridge-reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cooma North Ridge Reserve<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The North Ridge Reserve area on the edge of Cooma comprises approximately 80 hectares which was a consolidation of a Crown Land Reserve and land purchased by the Council from the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority in 1996. The area is home to many native animals and flora and is a favourite area for the many people who enjoy bushwalking.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I would think that just about anyone would want that in their backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was another Nimby Road near Harden (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/DdeVMFseFkXkV2Cy5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). The two Nimby spots were only about a <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/V6V7LX7qfFB3J8vk9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three hour drive apart<\/a> via Canberra.
