Constant Fun
In naming the streets of Graphite, I decided upon the simple and oft-popular numbered streets (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) for the roads heading off the main street (Parkman). There were two little glitches with that system: a tiny street between 2nd and 3rd and a longish street between 6th and 7th.
Now, I haven't planned any action to occur on either of these roads, so I'm positing that an early city planner was a math nerd with a sense of humor.
The little road is 'e' St. (mathematical constant e=2.7182818284...); the longish one is Avogad Rd. (Avogadro's number=6.02214199 × 1023)

Actually your city planner was down-right strange, but hey, he's all yours... (Don't let him come name MY streets!!)
Well, his name was Floyd Wilkerson and he came from somewhere down New Mexico way. He was known as a bit of fancy-dresser (spats, cufflinks, emerald tie tack, etc.) and frequently ended his sentences by making a loud 'popping' noise with his lips.
Hopefully that's enough background to help you screen him out of your pool of applicants.
Oh, one more thing: his resume was fingerpainted. Quite artistic, if a little showy.
Why does this not surprise me?
