On the *other* side (north terminus) of Cherry Avenue we have this man with his hand in the middle of a sewer top. Is he a guardian of the underworld, perhaps the one directly beneath the gray surface of Cherry Street and its numerous islands?
He must know about the 2 sets of twins from the other side of his 3/4th mile long avenue. He must somehow be in control of the islands. Many Islands.

“What are the names of the fairies off Cherry Avenue, infesting that creek or brook?”
Hucka D.:
The Chill’n’s.
bb:
Cool. Er, ha.
Hucka D.:
Brrr.
bb:
What an odd thing for that woman to do. Reminded me of my sister.
Hucka D.:
Pineapple. Island. Yes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanai
Lānaʻi (/ləˈnaɪ/; Hawaiian: [laːˈnɐʔi] or [naːˈnɐʔi]) is the sixth-largest of the Hawaiian Islands and the smallest publicly accessible inhabited island in the chain.[1] It is also known as Pineapple Island because of its past as an island-wide pineapple plantation.
In 1922, James Dole, the president of Hawaiian Pineapple Company (later renamed Dole Food Company), bought the island and developed a large portion of it into the world’s largest pineapple plantation.

Pineapple, Alabama has already been mentioned in this blog. The tiny town has a Banana and Cherry Street. Does it give further clues? Most likely. Perhaps the whole Cherry-Lime area of Ashville is actually called Pineapple. Or was (or will be).
And in reading the above link concerning Pineapple, see that I’ve already mentioned Cherry and Banana Street in this, and even provided a picture.

I’m still uncertain about the relationship between Apricot Bone and Sgt. Pepper. Is Apricot Bone a pretend band as well? I think you said before that it’s a Kinks variant band, like they also could have created in 1967. Instead they created the Village Green Preservation Society. “We are the Village Green Preservation Society”.
Hucka D.:
Apricot Bone is something else. Related to Pine Apple, Alabama and its Banana and Cherry Streets but more. Apricot is King Tull… 333. A tropic fruit.

I’m not sure I understand completely unless there’s a Rum Avenue nearby.

In Google Map Street View, just as you turn into Cherry Avenue from the south, you can see two pairs of people, 2 girls and then a girl and a boy, walking in opposite directions but who have *just crossed each other* in the middle of the first side street to the left as you head north. We have to zoom in to see them; they’re still about a football field and a half down Cherry Avenue from us here. Difficult to tell what they are yet…
… but in moving up Cherry Avenue the pairs become more resolved.
They step up on opposite sides of the same street at the same time.
The far couple walks past the first traffic island of the road heading north. We can now see that the foreground couple are 2 girls, perhaps teenagers still. We can also perhaps make out that one of the two pair in the background is holding a basketball.
We pull even with the 2 girls. The other couple keeps heading down the street, now just past the first traffic island.
We reach the intersection with the side street where the 2 pairs crossed as we entered Cherry Avenue. The symmetrical nature of the traffic islands becomes more clear. We are also about halfway between the 2 pairs of walkers at this juncture.
We are almost on top of the middle part of the first set of traffic isles. We can now see that the couple still ahead of us is a man and a woman, with the man holding the orange basketball. The 2 girls continue down the street in the opposite direction. The girl with the orange hair has turned around to look at the Google Map car snapping these pictures.
We pull basically even with the man and woman couple, or as even as we can get in our Street View. They notice the Google car for the first time; become aware they are being photographed. They are also passing a mysteriously placed rock cairn to their left, just behind the chain link fence.
The cairn looks unbalanced, top-heavy.
In this position, we are also as close to a midpoint between the two symmetrical sets of traffic islands in this part of the road as we can get.
south
north
We are also just at this time crossing a creek that flows under the road. This is the same creek that runs by the house with the fairies parked in the front yard discussed previously. The creek (as yet unnamed) has power.
(12/17/14 update: the stream is now named Linden Creek)
The neighborhood is called Cherry Lime after the 2 main streets. Our little Google Earth orange basketballhead figure stands atop the creek on Cherry Avenue. Cherry, Lime, and Orange together, then. From this point on northward, the creek will basically parallel Cherry Avenue, adding to its energy. The 2 actually become one at this time, most likely.
Moving one step north in Street View, we can view a type of rock village beyond the fence. This is the only place we see this clearly. It seems to make some kind of natural pairing with the rock cairn to its left here.
Detail.
Then one more step brings us directly atop the middle of the 3 far traffic islands. Interesting house in front of us here as well, with a type of Japanese torii gracing the entrance. We’ll see another torii down this street soon. You can tell by the little map that we are just beyond the creek-road conjunction mentioned before.
In the other direction, the man and woman are passing directly beside the rock cairn. The 2 girls are still staring at the Google car, fixed in their places. These are still the only people we have seen on this street. Indeed, they are the only walking people that will be encountered in Street View along this 3/4th mile avenue. What are the odds that they just happen to be exactly side by side with each other as we start the journey up this street from the south terminus?
The drama then seems to fade as we move past the far traffic islands into uninterrupted street again. In the next step, the 2 girls become permanently irresolute.
What have we just passed here? I personally believe it is the essence of a collage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_Island_%28Loch_Ness%29
Cherry Island (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Muireach, meaning Murdoch’s Island) is the only island in Loch Ness, Highland, Scotland, and is an example of a crannog.[1] The island is about 150 yards (140 m) from the shore near the southern end of the loch. The island was originally 160 feet (49 m) by 168 feet (51 m) across, but is now smaller as the level of the loch was raised when it became part of the Caledonian Canal.[1] The increase in the level of the loch caused a smaller natural island nearby Eilean Nan Con[2] (also known in its Anglicised form of “Dog Island”), to be totally submerged.
A castle stood on the island during the 15th century; this was constructed of stone and oak wood and was probably used as a fortified refuge. It has been suggested that Eilean Muireach may have been a hunting lodge, with Eilean Nan Con the home for the hunting dogs.[1]
This brings to mind Wild Goose Island as the only island in St. Mary’s Lake of Glacier National Park, and pictured in the opening sequence of The Shining.
Another Murdoch’s island:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_H._Murdock
In 1985 Murdock took over the nearly bankrupt Hawaiian firm Castle & Cooke, which owned pineapple and banana producer Dole Food Company. He developed Castle & Cooke’s real estate portfolio into residential and commercial properties and turned Dole into the world’s largest producer of fruits and vegetables.[11] Acquiring Dole privately in 2003, Murdock completed a $446 million initial public offering in October 2009 and the company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker DOLE until a private merger agreement was approved October 31, 2013.[12]
As a result of his purchase of Castle & Cooke, Murdock acquired ownership of 98% of Lana’i, the sixth largest island in Hawaii. In June 2012, Murdock sold his interest in Lana’i to Larry Ellison.[13]
Yet another Murdock’s island:

“You say these are aliens. I don’t think they’re aliens. I think it’s 2 humans and 2 fairies. Plain and simple — plains to see, and so forth.”
bb:
Just get rid of the alien angle.
Hucka D.:
The 2 pairs are obviously related. Are they one and the same[ like the Giant and the Dwarf of Twin Peaks]?
bb:
The heads of the humans and the heads of the 2 fairies are the same distance apart. Reverse one or the other and they can be directly overlapped. Must mean something.
Hucka D.:
Yes. One. Same.
bb:
So this is a place of contact.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Brrrr.
bb:
They have a sense of humor.
Hucka. D.:
Obviously (!)

About Dead Center Hill now…
Hucka D.:
Place of contact. Same. One.
bb:
Errrr.

I wanted to leave a placeholder post for a description of my visit to Dead Center Hill again near Woodrow Wilson College. Unfortunately my camera batteries went dead on me during the visit. A big part of the news is that someone (some*thing*?) has been working on a small lean-to on top of the hill since my last visit. The bit of old kane found then has been employed in the construction. A piece of tarp could cover it and provide a small shelter. But *has* it been used as such? And if so, was *Warren* (again separated from Wilson) the dweller?
A second bit of news is that the flat area around Arch Rock seems more meaningful now that the weeds have died off, centered around a pennisular area between two small stream flows. I though this place might be a good spot for a statue of some sort, or a rock cairn or something to mark the spot. We’ll see what develops in the future.
Another piece of good news is that I had no problem accessing Dead Center Hill, and didn’t feel like I stood out like a sore thumb and all exposed while walking next to the Wilson River after the protective rows of corn had been harvested. I think it could still be a regular destination when we finally get to Ashville in 6-9 years.

… then moving to *Ashville*. This creek is possibly fairy laden. I will not give out the exact location yet. That’s a fairy bridge if so, and it probably is.
Across the road we come to perhaps the former home of George and Harriet and Ingleboort and Flaarph, 4 aliens from the planet Glooton who helped the creek fairies intergrate with the local human population, perhaps. G and H assumed human form, while I and F took the form of the fairies. Interesting. We’ll get back to them soon enough.
A cat on the same street who may have been trying to tell me about the fairies and how I’m on the right track. Gotta learn that universal cat language sometime I’ve heard about.
Old rusty bike in a tree I also spotted in a Google map streetview capture from May 2012.

Wyoming in Iowa County in Wisconsin, a unique location because of the 3 different state names it highlights, is certainly also highlighted by this place, called “[Frank Lloyd] Wright’s architectural self portrait.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliesin_%28studio%29
Traveling down another arm that is the octopus of this map series, I noted that The Arches in Winona County, Minnesota (the Gopher state) is an anagram of Teachers, and Teacher is a story in Winesap highlighted by other maps. I think it partially refers to the teachers of James Franco, who has famously returned to not one but several schools to study and earn degrees at recently. One has already been pictured in the blog, and it is coded into Winona County as well.
A logical deduction would have it that The Arches, in Warren township next to a Wilson township, may refer to a teacher or perhaps multiple teachers of that school. Coincidentally, about a month ago I started corresponding again with an old boss who may be teaching at this very college during spring semester. Is this the teacher referred to? If not, it still seems to fit in somewhere. And what about the only other population place in this Warren township: Wyattsville? Is this the name of a teacher as well? The colorful, hand drawn map of Winona County jokingly associates this town with Wyatt Earp, although there appears to be no other direct connection outside the names themselves. But we’ve also previously noted that Wyatt was born in a Warren County (Illinois) and also had a younger brother named Warren with whom he shared many of his wild west adventures.
Teachers? (Probably.)
If so, it means another red-blue focusing (see Winona-Rollingstone below), and a gateway to the future *beyond* any need for such teachers. I will be free but on my own. It will be good. Red-blue, then Beyond Green. I think it has to do with friendship as well (Jenifer Anniston). I cannot be friends with my teachers, can I? I was taught to create procedures for what I do (work). That it?
So it was important enough to make this map sync, hmm.
Maybe Media, Pennsylvania is an important key. Audiovisual synchs, after all, involve protection of the attached audio and visual media. Maybe this is a meeting place, a middle town.

Media and the FBI
Media may be best known for secret government documents that were illegally seized there by activists in 1971 and distributed nationwide. On March 8 of that year, the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI raided an FBI “resident agency” in Media. They later released thousands of documents to major newspapers [the *media*] around the country. These documents revealed controversial and illegal FBI tactics, like the recruitment of Boy Scouts as informants, and confirmed for the first time the existence of COINTELPRO, an FBI program to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” dissident groups in the United States.[13]
