Just north of the town I lived in earlier this year, Bend OR, there’s a street named Odem Medo. Apparently, it’s spelled the same way at the other end of the road, as well.
Here in Bloomington, IN, there’s a Nehrt Road and a Banta Ave. (actually a ridiculously narrow, obscure road out in the sticks, not an avenue at all.) It always reminds me of the Banthas from Star Wars. Go out on Old State Road 46, heading towards Nashville, and there’s a Scarce-O-Fat road.
I’ll have to steal a sign.
Star Trek Court, along with several other space-themed streets. There’s also a Memory Lane in that area.
I had a college friend who lived in a subdivision where every street was sage something or other: Sage Way, Sage trail, Sage Ridge. Terrible to find your way around.
On the other hand, I liked the area in Big Bear, California where the streets were named after characters from Peter Pan.
It was in the other thread, but I guess technically you win this time!
There’s a neighborhood in Jacksonville, FL, with Miss Muffet Lane (N, S, and W), Bo Peep Dr (N & W), Pinnochio Dr, Goldilocks Lane, Jack Horner Lane, Tinkerbell Lane, Queen of Hearts Court, Looking Glass Lane… I always wondered how those names affected property values.
There are a bunch of streets in the Sydney suburb Castlecrag named after parts of Edinburgh castle: The Parapet, The Rampart, The Scarp, The Tor Walk, The High Tor, The Bastion, The Barbette, The Postern, The Bulwark, The Battlement, The Citadel, and my favourite The Sortie Port.
In a small town just east of Houston named Crosby Texas, there is a small residential area on the north end of town. The streets that lead in to the subdivision are named Winkin, Blinkin, and Nod. I never had time to go through and see what the other streets in the subdivision were named.
I wish I had MADE the time!
Hey! That last one is here in Chapel Hill, NC; my Honey grew up in that neighborhood, too, and laughed at the same intersection name. Do y’all know each other? Mid-forties, Chapel Hill HS. Small dang world!
Driving from DC on I-66 towards the Shenandoah Valley, there is an overpass crossing Dismal Hollow Road.
Just came across another one: Lefthand Circle in Longmont, CO.
Maybe it’s a one-way street that goes counter-clockwise.
Would you spend $625,000 to live on Redneck Ave in Little Ferry? Try getting anything delivered there.
Athens, GA, is the proud home of Nowhere RD.
Another road, Plum Nelly, actually crosses itself at an intersection. Not quite a disruption of the time space continuum, I know, but odd for a road.
Heading down the I-5 South to San Diego, you will see a sign for Las Pulgas Road. I believe it means “The Fleas.” Let me know if I’m wrong.
Out in the Hamptons, on the east end of Long Island: Weesuck Avenue
Yeah, they suck out there.
Is there, and if there isn’t there should be, an alcoholic beverage company located there with the tagline “Got a Little Ferry in you?”
Not too bizarre, but note worthy and just down the street from me in Toronto, is Memory Lane.
I used to live right there (the one in Oxford). It’s Magpie Lane now, ha ha. One of the college buildings used to be a brothel (no, I am not making this up).
