This isn’t especially droll, but in the west end of downtown Montreal, there’s an intersection of rue Chomedey and boul. De Maisonneuve, both of which are named for Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve (founder of the city).
I believe it was unintentional, as Chomedey was named more than a century ago and De Maisonneuve was so named in 1966 and crosses all of downtown.
Rick:
Pico and Sepulveda
Is this a reference to Forbidden Zone , Rick?
Seaman and Cumming
(sorry, don’t have a link, but I saw the sign on the internet somewhere)
As for me, meet me at Como and Sunrise.
In Omaha, you could find yourself at the corner of 69th and Cuming .

Toity toid and toid, NYC. (My parents rented an apartment for a while close to that.)
And for the old joke - telephone and telephone.
Meet me at the corner of John R and Brush. *

I know the song from Dr. Demento, but now that you have turned me on to FZ I must own it.

Fill in the blanks with…
A) a real-life intersection; truth being stranger/more interesting than fiction (add zip if desired for cite-ability).
or
B) a cross-street from a book/movie/TV show/song.
or
C) make up something witty to amuse us.
Mine: Yosemite and Park 95126
A slight variation:
In Lincoln Park , MI (near Detroit) it is always fun to say “My girlfriend/boyfriend lives on Dix and Champaign”.
Bush Street and Burritt Street.
A real-life address that meets the criterion of #B in the OP.
Anyone recognize it?
Rick : FZ is one of the weirdest films ever made. I hope you enjoy it.

Heartattack and Vine.
Or alternatively (from “Nighthawks at the Diner”), the corner of Fifth and Vermouth.
And I always liked the expression “She left him at the corner of Cold and Alone.”

But when I kissed the cop down on thirty-fourth and vine, he broke my little bottle (always thought “vial” would be more interesting here) of… LOVE POTION NUMBER NAAAYAAAYAAANE!
Yes, I think you have it. I believe that is what I was trying to recall.
