Swan Lake?

I know that we don't really have a lake here in Wauwatosa, but I can't help it. Every time I drive down Swan Boulevard and look East, our newest giant retention pond looks very much like a small man-made lake! And what better name to give it than....well, Swan Lake! It looks sort of peaceful and picturesque when you drive slowly by...until the sound of dump trucks and earth-movers awakens you from your daydream.
