Likely it's named for either the ethnic sour dairyfood smetana or the Czech composer Bedřich Smetana. From a distance that building back yonder on the right looks vaguely Czech, but too I caught a whiff of what smelled to me like sour dairy coming off the algal bloom so I dunno. It'd be a nice evening down here if it weren't for the bugs.

I've been told that the workers in the Office Parks surrounding the lake have a petname for it, "Old Smet-Smet."

I'd like to see Algal Bloom Swimming become an Extreme Sport. Why not?

But who knew there was Satan-worship involved?

'Going Up' On Black

"Right now this town is for the taking

We'll bring neon to its knees

Our time to shine

Lay on the pavement

We've got everything we need

So turn the music up

Gonna carry more than sound

Right now this town is for the taking

And it's all we'll ever need"
