In Toronto, there are Cummer Ave. and Old Cummer Ave. Old Cummer Ave. has a commuter-train station…

Yes, you can get off at Old Cummer.

**Elenfair** is correct, and here is a link to the picture **Hitsnarfle** took during NYCDope 2003: [Clickitty-click!](http://shf.cvrmls.org/hama/images/Seaman&CummingsSmall.jpg)

**newcrasher** , you live near me. My sister’s office used to be on Lickinghole Rd., and they got a P.O. box just so they wouldn’t have to put that address on their business correspondence.

There’s also a [Big Bone Lick State Park](http://www.state.ky.us/agencies/parks/bigbone.htm) in Kentucky.

Not pornographic, but Little Ferry NJ has a Redneck Avenue.

I know a little fairy who is a redneck, but that’s another thread.

Speaking of Seaman, English Dopers: what was that match again, where the commentator uttered “Seaman dribbles outside the box”? I nearly killed myself laughing. 😃

[sub]For those not in the know: Seaman is the goalie for the English national team, and “the box” is the penalty area.[/sub]

Dammit, you beat me to it!

Every time I go by Felch St., I giggle, because I am very juvenile.

The way I’ve always heard it told was that there are three streets in Chicago that rhyme with “vagina”.

It ranks alongside the almost certainly apocryphal “The bowler’s Holding the batsman’s Willy”

Hah! I was going to mention that one, Jean. Over here in Athens, GA we also have…

Knoblick Point. It’s right around the corner from…

Orchard Knob Lane.

Ok I have another one…

My best friend works at the intersection of Knuckols and Cox…that alone is funny.

In mixed company I always enjoy asking him if he still works on Cox…

When traveling through Michigan on I-94, which I used to do with friends quite frequently, there were always the usual jokes as we approached [Climax](http://www.multimag.com/city/mi/climax/).

Is this in Richmond? I know we have both of those street names, but I can’t remember if they intersect.

A friend of ours lives in a lovely town called Cox Head.

You realize that **Felch Street** is one block from the previously mentioned **Gott/Hiscock** intersection! That means there is an intersection that sounds like a bad porno ad: **Gott Felch?**

What is up with that neighborhood?

They also have a Cherry Street

There’s a **Morningwood Lane** in my hometown. The sign was always getting stolen.

I’m surprised **Homebrew** didn’t post this. Just west of his home town is a place called **Red Lick**. I have a friend that owns some land in W. Virginia. It’s known as **Smuts Knob**.

Around where I live, a high school’s main athletic field is named **Gay Field.** Appropiately enough, the athletic field is located just off of **Gay Ave**. Plenty of laughs on the bus whenever my high school soccer team had a game over there.
