A Monk Crosses "Monk's Crossing"

PaxOku, Tokuno; January 23rd, 2006 -

Monk's Crossing is the new name of the road that runs along the island of Homare-Jima and through PaxOku!  The name beat out several other names including Alliance Way, Blue Light Parkway and Paco Taco Boulevard in the Name the PaxOku Road Contest.

The four final names with the most votes on the PaxLair.com site were put to an additonal vote in a ballot box in PaxOku, but the end result of that vote was overturned by Viceroy Gareth on Friday who elected to let the PaxLair Government decide.  At a quick meeting, eight members of the PaxLair Government voted unanimously for Monk's Crossing, so Viceroy Gareth decreed that the road would be named Monk's Crossing!

Monk's Crossing gets its name from the many monks who run around PaxOku each day, often crossing the road and paying visits to houses in the city.  The name is also a tribute to Monk, Lord of the Knights.

In the coming weeks, architects and city planners for PaxOku will be conducting a survey of the area and assigning house numbers to all of the houses.  The numbers will increase from west to east in yet undecided increments, and will help visitors and citizens alike to find houses easily.  The house numbers will also be used by the PaxLair Postal System.

Blue Lampposts

The PaxOku government also decided as a way to "show unity", each house on Monk's Crossing will receive a free Blue Lamppost courtesy of the PaxOku Treasury.  There is also talk making it so all houses use the same sign style.

As an honary token, the PaxOku Road can be known as "Paco Taco Boulevard" for slang.
