You better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cause it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for the runaway bus
'Cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
'Cause time is short and life is cruel
And it's up to us to change in a town called Meta.

Disappointingly enough, Meta is dry! I'm sure there's a bootlegger, though. And that population information is WAY off, Meta isn't even large enough to have its own post office. Or any restaurants. Or much of anything besides some houses and what's in those photos.

You can drive down there and interview the locals. I've already lived there for almost a year once, and I'm not going back. It's not on the map as such, but who reads maps? Ivory tower elitists, that's who. And speaking of towers, while you're there, you can visit the Bok Singing Tower Gardens, Home of the Bok Singing Tower Gardens Tower.
I made that last part up.

There is a hill in the park. Mountain Creek Lake Park Hill.
On top of that hill is a forest. Mountain Creek Lake Park Hill Forest.
People love the hiking up there, on Mountain Creek Lake Park Hill Forest Trail.
Nothing as refreshing as the waters at the summit, from the Mountain Creek Lake Park Hill Forest Trail Spring.
This needs a banjo, a bouncy chorus, and a twangy melody and some clapping like yesterday, srsly.

Meta . . . Usually a diminutive of Margaret, "a pearl" (Greek); but may also be short for Almeta "ambitious" (Latin).
--"What Shall We Name the Baby?" Simon and Shuster, New York, 1935.
The short list for me was Margaret, Catherine, Amy and Elizabeth. You can guess which one I wound up with. And Meta for a middle, after a quaker friend of my Jewish parents. Well, enough about me. No, never. I once was embarrassed about my odd middle name; now I claim it with open arms. See here!

By request.
Though it's a baritone uke instead of a banjo, and there's no clapping or anything. But it is the complete story of the Mountain Creek Lake Park Hill Forest Trail Spring Creek Park Murders, so it should be good enough to tide you over until Cortex one-ups it.

I'm losing my fucking mind finishing up a friend's EP, so you are officially the man on this one, kaibutsu.

Google street view for Meta started me off looking at a mud embankment, and I was very confused until I panned around and saw the highway and the town.

loquacious: "MetaBank"
Next time I'm in the area, I'm opening an account.
...I have never been west of Illinois.
