Avril's Clothing Line "Abbey Dawn" - What's It Mean?

UPDATE: Read my newer post that shows the origin of the name "Abbey Dawn"!

...
After learning that Avril's new clothing line (coming out in July) is called "Abbey Dawn", I found out that it was her nickname as a kid. And it appears that is the name of a place...

In a 2004 interview, Avril was asked:
"What was your nickname when you were in school?"

And she answered:
"I didn’t have a nickname. Oh, yeah, I did — Abbey. Abbey Dawn. I think it’s a place. That’s what my dad called me, so all my friends did, too."

So I've been checking around but don't think I've discovered exactly what place Avril's dad was thinking about (or maybe I did!). :)

There's an Abbey Dawn Drive in Bath, Ontario that's not too far from Napanee (like 5 minute drive or so?), but it's pretty short... maybe the family knew someone who lived there? And BTW, I use to live VERY close to that road too! :)

And there's an Abbey Dawn Road on the other side of Kingston (maybe 45 minutes from Napanee?) but it's out in the country - not much there except maybe a Paintball field and a Tavern on the waterfront called "Schooners Restaurant & Bar" and "Smuggler's Inn", both at 907 Abbey Dawn Road where it meets Highway 2.
