“They told me to take a street-car named Desire, and then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at-Elysian Fields” (Williams 95). In Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire Blanche Dubois’ doom is hinted in the first scene when she asks if she has arrived at Elysian Fields.

Living in Azle, Texas has some benefits and some drawbacks. One benefit is that you live close to Eagle Mountain Lake. One of the drawbacks is you have to travel Highway 199 to get just about anywhere. Another benefit to me is that Azle is a little more of a country atmosphere than the rest of the Metroplex.
