Growing up, a few of my friends lived on Booger Hill Road.

Now – and pardon the sophomoric humor – I have to deal with Big Beaver Road, which is (I kid you not) Exit 69 off the Interstate nearby.

A hilly, gravel road around where I live is Titanic road. If you’re in a car some of the hills are so high you feel like you could go nose down on the other side.

One set of roads comes to mind. A set in Jonesboro, AR, in a development created/planned by someone who is obviously a Jimmy Buffet fan. One of my friends used to live on a road called Margaritaville. I think another was Parrot Head Lane or something of that ilk.

In Bismark, N. Dakota we were confused by Road Street. Or was it Street Road?

Karmaflux Way is right behind my subdivision. Here’s my Flickr image of the sign. http://www.flickr.com/photos/riffsyphon1024/3661580441/

My fiancee used to live on Honey Bear Ct., which is right off Honey Bear Drive. Which is one block down from Never Mind Road. Seriously.

In norwalk, ct Gay Hill Rd intersects with Rainbow Drive. Thought that was kind of funny.

Near Heber Springs, AR there are roads called
Bird Dove Lane
Cooterneck Road
Lo Hawk Drive
Tooth Fairy Lane

Then, like the Peachtrees, in Searcy, AR there’s a neighborhood called River Oaks and all of the streets are named after a species of oak tree; Live Oak, Pin Oak, White Oak, Post Oak, etc.

In the Phoenix metro area:

Calle Sin Nombre (Street with no name, there’s one in Tucson too)
Calle del Paisano (Peasant Street, in a ritzy neighborhood)

(from north to south)
Calle del Norte (North Street)
Calle del Medio (Middle Street)
Can you guess the next one? Wrong! It’s Lafayette!

I could write a novel on the street names in the Phoenix metro area. Some of the best are Calle Sin Nombre (street without a name, there’s one in Tucson too), Calle del Paisano (Peasant Street, in a ritzy neighborhood), and my favorite is the following:

(from north to south)
Calle del Norte (North Street)
Calle del Medio (Middle Street)
Can you guess the next one? Wrong! It’s Lafayette!

While in Baghdad in ’06, I lived near the intersection of Sniper Ln. and Mortar Alley. Intentional, I know, but still something to laugh at everyday.
