Here, we'd call that a yankee yard

Why is it called that?

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

How was your trip?

Uneventful, punctuated with periods of extreme irritation.

 

[BSWALKS]

Why is it called that?

Some northerners collect too much stuff. Yards full of whatever. Equipment, old cars, you name it

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

Why is it called that?

Probably because of the blacktop

Correct. Thats a Minnesota thing

When my son was going to Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY, we noticed that there were a lot of old toilets in the front yards and, of course, the bath tubs cut in half, buried standing up in the ground, with a statue of the Virgin Mary inside.

We do have our share of rednecks here also. At least their "yard art" is covered up with snow for half the year.
