What’s in a street name? This week’s street of the week is Mad Turkey Crossing!🏡✨

Ever been cruising through The Landings and thought, “Wait, who actually named this place?” Because let’s be real, some street signs are doing a lot of heavy lifting, but “Mad Turkey Crossing” is in a league of its own.

If you think it’s just a quirky name pulled out of a hat, think again. This one comes with a side of local attitude! The legend goes back to when these lots were first being platted. Apparently, one particular Mama Turkey was NOT a fan of the new neighbors. She made it her personal mission to chase the surveyors’ cars every time they drove down the road. She was fast, she was feisty, and she earned that street its name.

And if you think that’s just a tall tale, just ask the legendary Susan Connelly of The Landings Company. She’s got the first-hand receipts! Susan was once showing property in the area when that same infamous bird flew right out of a tree and completely covered her windshield mid-drive. Talk about a dramatic showing! 🦃🚫

A great street name is the cherry on top of a perfect listing, but a name with a legendary backstory? That’s what makes a neighborhood a community. I’ve spent years navigating every corner of this market, which means I don’t just know the best floor plans—I know the lore, the legends, and exactly which streets have the most personality.

Whether you’re looking for a home with a peaceful name or one with a little bit of “Mad Turkey” flair, I’ve got the inside track.

The weekly roundup is here!

The Landings was buzzing this week, and I’ve got the inside scoop!

Our Agent Caravan on Wednesday was a total hit—we had 12 agents representing 5 different brokerages out to preview 7 brand-new listings hitting the market. That’s the power of collaboration, and it’s a massive win for my buyers because I’m getting the “insider info” before the ink is even dry. Reminder: this caravan is open to ALL agents who do business at The Landings! Reach out to Christy if you would like to be included in the next one.

Speaking of wins, my heart is absolutely full for Clyde and Brenda Campbell, who are officially under contract! After losing their home to a fire back in April, finding them a beautiful new spot just one minute from Brenda’s work feels like a total Godsend. It’s an honor to represent them, and a huge bonus to collaborate with the legendary Steffany Farmer for the first time on this one. We love a smooth, professional partnership!

The market stats are holding strong with 7 sold this week, ranging from $479,000 to $2,300,000. Like I always say: 31411 offers options for everyone, no matter the price point.

Ready for some football? The Georgia Dawgs open the season this Saturday! To celebrate, I have SEC schedules ready for your refrigerator. If you want one, just let me know and I’ll swing by and pop it in your tube.

Stay grateful, stay picky, and Go Dawgs!

The is Yam Gandy Road! Here is the Story Behind Yam Gandy Road 🌿

Yam Gandy Road is believed to trace its name back to Yam Grandy Creek, a natural waterway near Swainsboro in Emanuel County, Georgia.
When development of The Landings began in 1972, many of the community’s roads were given names inspired by Georgia’s historic places, waterways, geographic landmarks, and maritime history. Yam Gandy appears to be one of those names.
But what does Yam Grandy actually mean?
That part of the story is a little more mysterious. The name is generally believed to have Indigenous origins, with connections to the Lower Creek people who historically lived throughout this region of Georgia. Like many Native American place names, the original meaning may have been altered over generations as European settlers and mapmakers recorded the names phonetically.
The creek eventually became known on maps as Yam Grandy Creek, while the version used here in The Landings became Yam Gandy Road.
There are local stories suggesting the missing “R” was simply a transcription or mapping variation during the development of The Landings, but the exact reason for the spelling difference isn’t clearly documented.
And no—the name isn’t believed to have anything to do with sweet potatoes or yams! 🍠
Today, Yam Gandy Road is another small reminder that the history of The Landings extends far beyond the gates. Many of the street names throughout the community connect residents to places, people, waterways, and stories from across Georgia.
Who knew one road name could have so much history behind it?

Full moon and low tide. Not another soul around. Lightning storms far out at sea occasionally illuminating gigantic cumulonimbus clouds. A great evening to spend some time with the good old dog and reflect on another day gone by at The Landings. We live in a spectacular place.
