In 2008, I was driving through Erie, Pennsylvania (for those who don't know, Erie is a relatively small city on Lake Erie southwest of New York State, about 90 miles south of Buffalo, NY).
Anyway, I was driving down the main street (Route 19) when I saw a side road called "Keats Ave."
But when I was in the area some time ago, I noticed that the road sign was gone and they renamed it something else!!
C'mon! Our poet is still getting dissed today!
Probably John Gibson Lockhart's descendant is on the council board for street names!
But does this still count as a "Random Keats Sighting"?
