Those Buckeyes





There is a street in Marietta named Sweet Buckeye.  There is also a street named Buckeye.   Postal-wise, They are sometimes confused because the Sweet in Sweet Buckeye is  omitted, but luckily Sweet Buckeye and Buckeye have completely different  numbers.  Like one of them  might have numbers that start with 1000 and the other one's numbers start with 4000.   Which brings up why was the word Sweet omitted from Sweet Buckeye?  I suppose the person living on Sweet Buckeye who omitted Sweet was a little apprehensive of having anything "Sweet" as part of his identity  had a masculinity problem.    The word "sweet" insinuates unmanlyness.    What would people think ?
