Word or term in question:	Francesca Lane circa isn't dreamy any longer
Context:	the street cuts up and around a hillside to reveal the boom-time promise of Happy Valley circa 2006

 

The answer of Peonia Kempenich   was rated best

Francesca Lane alrededor de 2006 ya no es un lugar maravilloso

My comment:

Circa: from Latin, prep. (Abbr. c. or ca) In approximately; about: born circa 1900.

It is used as is: "circa" both in English and Spanish (alrededor de). The autor is referring to the fact that circa 2006, Francesca Lane was a promising street for the real estate market... today, that "circa 2006" is no longer a promising time, it's gone, it has vanished.

My references:

Naci circa 1900


DRAE: circa.

(Del lat. circa, alrededor de).


1. prep. hacia (‖ alrededor de). Circa 1700.
