Any interesting street names where you live?

[amerikat]

Near me are, Hard Scrabble rd., Mosquito Swamp rd. and Duer rd. If I lived on Mosquito Swamp rd. I would petition whoever to change the name. That name must decrease property value.

1. Hole In The Wall

In the next town over, there's a small gated community on a series of ponds. Not big fancy homes, but still gated.
The back entrance, which is really easy to miss is "Hole In The Wall Drive".

Named after the historic Albuquerque Indian School.

I now live in high desert - basically pinyon, juniper and cactus and a road near me is called Golf Course Road. Either a joke or someone had unrealistic plans.

35. Poor Farm Road. Interestingly, the houses on it are fairly expensive. It's upscale. I certainly couldn't afford...

...living on Poor Farm Road.

[3catwoman3]

36. Penny Lane - not so much interesting as personally unacceptable. My husband's ex-wife's name...

...was Penny. Most unpleasant woman. When we were moving to the greater Chicago area, we looked at many, many houses and developments that had open lots for a new house to be built. One of the neighborhoods only had a couple of lots available, which were on Penny Lane.

I spent about 1 minute attempting to convince myself that, if we chose a lot there, I could think of just the Beatles' song by the same name. Nope - wasn't gonna be possible. Some things you should not have to do.

When I lived in San Antonio during my first tour of duty with the Air Force nurse corps, there was a neighborhood near my apartment complex in which all the streets were named after Hollywood folks. I knew I could never live on Lon Chaney Lane, Bela Lugosi Street, or Desi Arnaz Drive.
