Worst/ silliest/ funniest street names ever

[Bossy Monkey]

I just discovered Blue Johnson Rd., which is still affording me great amusement. Columbia also features John Edward St. (fun for Crossing Over) and, I swear by whatever may still be holy, Burnsdowne Rd. C'mon, whatcha got?

[LiberalinNC]

1. How about Big Beaver Road!

I know there's one in Oakland and Rochester, MI.

[Strawman]

52. I work on that road!

I'm sure you also know that it's exit 69 off of 1-75.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

2. Chow Mein Lane in Lake Oswego, Oregon

Cretin Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota

[sbj405]

3. I live near some USDA land, they have a variety of ag related names

I think Animal Husbandry Lane takes the cake though.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. Boone County Arkansas has

Run n Late Lane, Gipp n Anne Lane, Cozy Lane, Covey Lane, and Eoff (pronounced Oaf) Road and Eoff Street.

[Zomby Woof]

5. In San Diego...

"Haveteur Way" intersects with "Unida Place".

[FizzFuzz]

61. Laughing Out Loud bigtime!

That's great!

[deadparrot]

6. Not bad, but strange...

In a neighborhood near mine, there's an intersection of Clinton and Gore.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

7. This is pretty amazing.....

[Bossy Monkey]

11. Just getting the big red X. Can you describe it? nt

[HysteryDiagnosis]

15. There probably should be 3 red x's. It's an intersection in a town

or city that has Seaman Av and Cumming St on the same street sign pole.... obviously an innocent mistake.

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. *lol*

[Canadian Socialist]

8. There used to be one in Vernon

B.C. called "Kick Willie Loop". I love that name.

[dolo amber]

9. Columbus OH has an intersection...High St and Gay St

Funny side note: My best friend's maiden name is Gay. Yes, we took an *appropriate* pic. :D

[nytemare]

10. In the boondocks beyond Orlando, Clapp Simms Duda Rd

I think it was a person. If I was a person with a name like that, I sure as hell wouldn't want have a road named after me. Let alone have a first name that is the nickname of an STD.

[Pool Hall Ace]

12. My husband and I drove by Kangaroo Court the other day.

We don't think we'd want to live there.

[WhollyHeretic]

13. I grew up on Asylum Avenue

I always got some strange looks when giving my address. There is also Climax Road in the town I'm in now.

[LeftyMom]

14. When trekkies name streets

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=6th+Pkwy+Sacramento,+CA&spn=0.016424,0.030899&hl=en

The little proturbance off Klingon Ct isn't named on the map, but it's Romulan Ct. Needless to say, it's a rough neighborhood. ;)

[xultar]

16. Dam Road which also has a Dam store.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Friends who live outside of DC live on....

Marsala Glen Way.

:wtf: ???

Also, in Crystal Lake, IL, there is a street named Walkup after some local leading citizen of yore. As kids, we'd talk about walking down Walkup Street.

[u4ic]

18. Whoop Up Drive

Lethbridge, Alberta.

[qnr]

19. Bangor, ME has an intersection of Clinton CT and Dole CT n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

39. Never noticed that one

[qnr]

82. Been a while since I've lived in Bangor, they might actually be adjacent,

rather than intersecting, but I'm 80% sure they intersect/

[The Flaming Red Head]

20. I'm named after a street

My mother was out riding shortly before I was born and she needed a name because my cousin was born 3 weeks before me and got my grandma's name (my intended name) and then she saw it, my name for the rest of my life.
Melanie Street. I'm just glad she dropped the street part.

[distantearlywarning]

51. I have a street named after me.

My parents were the first ones to live on their new street and my dad worked for the county, so they got permission to name the street after me.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Food Lane

I was watching COPS last week and they were called to a domestic disturbance on Food Lane.

You guessed it - a couple was having a food fight. LOL

[name not needed]

22. Street Road, Cold Soil Road, Great Road

[Bossy Monkey]

27. Street Road in Feasterville?

Oh wait, I'm not supposed to know that; never mind! (Kidding; used to live in Philly)

[Dogmudgeon]

56. I live in an apartment next to Street Road

It's a big old suburban thoroughfare that runs from the Delaware River (actually Bensalem, or "Cigarettown" as it's sometimes known) to Canada. Well, at least up to the top of Bucks County.

Street Road is where young (and) idiot cops from different jurisdictions get into fistfights.

Incidentally, the name of the mayor of Philly is "John Street" (no relation).

--p!

[sakabatou]

23. Intersection of Hillrise and Hillrise...

[TOhioLiberal]

24. here's one:

Lewis Ave. and Martin Street.

We had a company, Humphrey Sign, which was on (of all places) Bogart Street. The street was razed to make way for an addition to the U. of Toledo, so I don't know what happened to the company.

[lpbk2713]

25. There used to be a "Horney Place" in my town.

And the kids would steal the street signs regularly. So after spending a small fortune in replacement signs the city wised up and renamed it using the full name of the city father it was named after. It's now spelled out fully "Julius T Horney Rd" on all the signs and street maps.

[democracyindanger]

26. Bush Street, San Francisco

Frankly, I'm surprised none have been vandalized. It's a fairly main thoroughfare, one of maybe three streets in The City that has timed signals.

[praxiz]

28. In my city you have "Virgin St." where you find "The Leather Doc"

[stlsaxman]

29. I always wanted to steal the streetsigns from "MacDonald & Giles"....

anyone? pretty obscure, i know....

[Bossy Monkey]

36. Probably somewhere near the intersection of Fripp and Lake streets

or maybe Crimson King Court... :D

[tsakshaug]

30. Nobody's Road

my favorite- Dixie Guano rd.

And in a town that has a huge drug problem- Mary Jane Lane

[Magrittes Pipe]

31. The finest sight on I-90 in northwestern Ohio:

[Left_Winger]

32. My favorite is in our own hometown...

Bull Street!

[Bossy Monkey]

72. The heavy connotations of Bull St always prevented me from seeing

that it's inherently funny, but you're right, it is.

I like Huger St, at least if it's pronounced like it looks. I always wanted them to change Assembly St's name to Hugest St.:D

[Left_Winger]

76. Once, while at USC

there was a student from New Jersey who asked me where the "huge E" was on Huger St.

[Rockholm]

86. Coming Street used to make me laugh.

I grew up in Charleston.
Always thought Ashley Phosphate was a silly name for a street.

[elehhhhna]

33. Taco Court in Sugar Land, TX.

[unhappycamper]

34. Don't have a clue where this is, but

http://i17.photobucket.com.nyud.net:8090/albums/b54/unhappycamper/Tough_decision.jpg

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. Funny, looks exactly like the Seaman and Cumming up above. I would

guess that both pics are photoshopped. Too funny to be true

[Danmel]

35. "My Way"

In Centereach, New York.

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. There's a private road here named "Getta Way"

[mainegreen]

41. Bloody Alchohol Mary Lane

This street is way out in the country where I'm from. The thing is on a 80 foot (no joke) pole to keep people from stealing it.

[Burma Jones]

42. Foolish Pleasure Road

Also in my Neighborhood - for all you Deadheads - is Dark Star Way.....

[trackfan]

45. Do you live near a racetrack? Those are both famous horses.

[Burma Jones]

46. Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

You guessed the neighborhood theme. This land used to be a horse farm. We also have Avatar, Black Gold, Majestic Prince, Northern Star. But, alas, no Secretariat, no Affirmed, no Citation, no Seattle Slew.........

[Seabiscuit]

57. And no Seabiscuit.

[Burma Jones]

70. D'oh

Maybe you had better move to Maryland.....

[Seabiscuit]

80. Move to Maryland? And give up my movie career???

[Trigger Hippie]

43. There's a Turkey Jim Road

in Campton, NH. Which makes me wonder, who is this Turkey Jim and why did he (presumably) like turkeys so much? :)

[Jara sang]

44. I just noticed a Pon Farr Rd. in my community

It's a private road, must be a Trekkie.

[Amaya]

47. Dickman Drive

In Farmington, CT

[likesmountains 52]

48. Chunky Monkey..

[JackDragna]

49. Tchopatoulis

In New Orleans. I dare you to spell or say it correctly. :)

[Bossy Monkey]

62. Stayed in a hotel there around Xmas time; still had to look up spelling

Tchoupitoulas
pronounced chew pi TOO las
Hip beyond words.

[Danmel]

50. Bread and Cheese Hollow Road

Commack, New York

[Strawman]

53. There's a Felch St. in Ann Arbor

http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?addr=Felch&csz=Ann+Arbor%2C+MI&country=us&new=1&name=&qty=

[progmom]

71. yep

i've driven on it many times

[Beware the Beast Man]

54. I lived off of Beaver Street growing up.

[Texasgal]

55. Street in Austin, Tx

beaver lick. :rofl:

[flamingyouth]

58. Morningwood in The Woodlands, TX

:rofl:

[flamingyouth]

59. Kitchen Dick Road in Sequim, Wash.

Also, my personal favorite has to be The Egg & I Road in Jefferson County, Wash. It's named after the book. :)

[KurtNYC]

60. Avenida de los Pulgas

near San Diego. Your dog may not want to live there.

I'm sure there are others that remain untranslated.

It means "Avenue of the Fleas" it is near the city of El Cajon ("the drawer/box").

[jobycom]

63. Somewhere around Austin there is "Hairy Man Drive"

Where people swore a hairy man used to jump out of the trees and scare parkers. They have a Hairy Man Festival near there every year.

[KitchenWitch]

64. Johnny Cake Ridge Road

[FizzFuzz]

65. Hogslide and Batzing Rds.

In Wayne County (I think), NY Fingerlakes area.

They don't intersect, but I wish they did--then I'd go live on the corner.

[5thGenDemocrat]

66. Good and High streets parallel each other here in Saginaw

One block apart. Better yet, there's a cemetery at the end of them.
John
Saginaw also has "A" "B" "C" and "D" streets. But that's probably just a lack of creativity more than "funny," per se.

[UncleSepp]

67. Oh Sh*t Road

It's a signed, but not mapped, road in Colorado with precipitous dropoffs and not much of a shoulder. A buddy of mine tried to drive me out to see it and photograph the sign, but it was closed.

[jobycom]

68. Nameless Road, just outside Austin. nt.

[dean_dem]

69. There's a subdivision in Suffolk, VA

named "Steeplechase." So keeping in the theme of horse-racing, all the streets are named after famous horses, including a "Red Rum Court." The developer apparently had never seen The Shining, I guess.

And my friends and I always laugh about the Backlick Road exit on I-95.

[Lilith Velkor]

79. Backlick Road!

Brings out our inner Beavis n' Butt-heads too...

(heh-heh, huh-huh, backlick)

[Nikia]

73. Dogwood Drive

I found it especially funny when my dog took a crap by it and had an erection.

[auburngrad82]

74. Running Cedar Drive in Raleigh, NC

I've never seen a tree run.

[Bossy Monkey]

77. Running cedar's the coolest; what my naturalist friends call

good native groundcover: http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/mpages/running_cedar.htm

[auburngrad82]

83. Well I'll be damned

I learn something every day! Thanks.

[auburngrad82]

75. Beaver Ruin Road in Atlanta

Just sounds nasty to me...

[Catchawave]

78. Bunch of Walnuts Road

..in Chesapeake, Va.

[Norbert]

81. Needmore Road in Dayton Ohio

[Rockholm]

84. You must be in Charleston, SC

[Bossy Monkey]

87. Columbia

Born in Charleston, but left at age 3, 40 years ago. Thus I can pronounce the word "paper" in only two syllables.:D

[Mutley]

85. I once lived on Far Corners Loop.

And I drive by a road called Tally Ho St regularly. I guess Maryland has boring road names.

[El Fuego]

88. George Bush Blvd.

George the first, that is. Makes me cringe every time I drive by.
