We have a bunch of cities here with the word laguna in their name, at least 4 from memory in the same county. No lagunas in sight.
Comment on When a place is called " Heights", what does "heights" mean/refer to?
zephr_c@lemm.ee 5 months agoThat’s certainly where it comes from. It’s not always actually true though. Sometimes someone just liked the name and didn’t even think about what it meant.
It’s like the name Lakeview. I’ve been to more than just a couple places named Lakeview something or another. Streets, towns, apartment complexes. The only thing they all had in common is that not a single one of them had a view of a lake.

I’m pretty sure there’s at least one Renault Laguna parked down the road.

My town has a “Valley View” that is always amusing. Yeah, it’s at the bottom of a small valley, so there’s no view except the immediately surrounding houses
