I just happened to run across this. In Banff, Alberta, the streets are mostly named for animal, iIncluding Moose and Squirrel Streets. And those two do [intersect](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.1818389,-115.5712879,3a,75y,18.39h,94.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVfPHbu96JP0mtljnnmPlxA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). It’s just an ordinary residential intersection, no special indication of Rocky&Bullwinkleness, alas. And streetview didn’t have a good image of both street signs together. You can see one of them above the stop sign and if you maneuver around you can see the other. ---

I walked through that intersection two years ago, a friend lives right near by. I don’t think I took any photos. ---

Banff should contact Jay Ward Productions for R&B statues. Those will attract photo-fiend tourists. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > You can see it better in this picture. > > [Corner of Moose and Squirrel!!! | Pickles - McCullough Weddi… | Flickr](https://flic.kr/p/dbWWuY) That’s from 2012 and the streetview is from 2015. Looks like they moved the signs to the top of the stop sign post in between. > [@RioRico](#): > > Banff should contact Jay Ward Productions for R&B statues. Those will attract photo-fiend tourists. Banff needs more tourists? ---

Is always Moose. Squirrel is innocent. ---

I’m pretty sure that house on the corner is the Keel family residence. ---

In the Agassiz Museum of Natural History at Harvard University, they have a case of mounted North American Mammals. There are a Moose and a Squirrel right next to each other. I’ve often wondered if someone at the museum is a Jay Ward fan.
