I saw a sign today in a rural area that said "Goa Way"

Had one in Atlanta named gun alley or gun barrel drive can't remember which.

I didn't turn on that street!!

Oh, then you wouldn't want to come here. We have all kinds of streets named after Gun this, Rifle that, Shooting here, Dead Man there, with a Grave something or the other thrown in for good measure.

On the lighter side, I found a set of streets today - Howlin' Wolf, Stevie Ray, Muddy Waters. All before my time, but I got the gist...

We have a KillDeer Road in my county. Got to love that one!

Aptly named are the following:

Keep Out Drive;

Holy Moly Road; and

Vertical Mile Road.

I don't know if they're funny; but they do intimidate some Prospects.

Pot Luck Farm Road is where the ATF, DEA and US Marshalls had a Gigantic Hydroponic Marijuana Bust, as shown on Unsolved Mysteries.

I had a listing on Smelly Lane. I wanted to laugh, but when I read the owner info, I realized it was family name.

I once saw My Way.

I was in Traverse City, MI for vacation this past summer and saw: "Psycho Path"

I believe that intersects with Socio Path.

I've recently done BPO's on the following streets:

Long Distance Lane

Crooked Creek Ln

Muddy Creek Ln

And on my way over there saw Long Lines Ln

I live in a very modest area that actually was where Annie Oakley taught other women visiting from the Northeast how to shoot, targets - skeet - etc. when they were vacationing at the Pinehurst Resort, a few years back

Our main road is Gun Club, and of course we have Remington and Winchester too.

The funny part is just how things have changed, I can just see some of our Country Club Women and Church Ladies shooting skeet.

FYI - the exact place where Annie use to hold these events is now part of the Pinehurst #8 course, also known as the Pinehurst Centennial Course.

We have a street here in Riverside called Wong Way. Another nearby is called Back Street and it's the back entrance to one of the post offices.

I did a trashout in San Diego on a street called Kimberly Lane, which is my sister's first & middle name. So, of course, I had to get a photo and send it to her.

Linda

two streets one block apart

Gentle Wind

Warm Breeze

We have a Schenck Road; pronounced Skank!

I use to live on No Name Road. Hard to explain when someone asks for your address.

In a similar vein, we have Nameless Road. Kind of an oxymorons, aren't they?

Tb I wouldn't have a problem with those roads in Texas.

Downtown Atlanta all other streets are not named that. This particular area has gangbangers,machine guns, druggies and all kinds of crap. So the street sign has a meaning.LOL

I knew then I had ventured into territory I didn't want to a turned around. The police won't even go on some of these streets without backup or SWAT.

On a lighter side in the suburbs 1 hour away where I live there is a rural road inthe middle of knowhere called JOT EM DOWN rd.

Giddyup Dr

Chicken Dinner Road
Hairball Heights (private lane)
Lois Lane

Thisa Way
Thata Way

Spreading Oak Drive
Tightness Lane

Took this one about a week ago.

We have a cigarette section as in Kool Place, Viceroy Drive, Marlboro Ave, Kent Place

Hooker Street

BPOBill

you win. LOL

Mike Hagen should come in at least 2nd place -- those are pretty funny too!

We have "Ain'ta Alley"

Getoutofmy Way.

There's one near me called Hogshead Rd, about 1/4 mile from Dog Alley. There's a subdivision near here with Crooked Stick Dr and Winged Foot Dr.

How about a whole subdivision called Schoolhouse off of School Street and all the street names are school related:

Playground
Chalkboard
Jump Rope
Eraser
Pencil
Dodge Ball
Principal (previously incorrectly spelled as Principle)

There's more, just can't remember all of them. I used to help market the sub when it was new. I asked the developer how they came up with the name of the sub and street names. It was joke over martinis and they submitted it to the city and it was approved.

I suggested Basketball Court, Detention Street, but it was too late.

I still think it is really corny!

Flirtation Avenue

How about Mortgage Lane...those cookie cutter neighborhoods with giant 4000 sq ft houses.....

We have a small town called Ono. The only business is the Oh Yes tavern.

In one area we have My Way Drive and the next street is REO Dr(They are both mobile home parks).

There's a neighborhood in suburban West Palm Beach that has the following streets:
Rainbow, Pot O Gold, Dream, Faith, Success and Happiness

Who'd a thunk it!!

Justine, Did they really do that ? A School Principal is supposed to be your "Pal" !

Just like a Principal Broker.

Dale - That was my error, it was late last night after a very stressful day, my brain wasn't processing the difference correctly. They did spell it correctly. Thanks!

My Godmother lives on Paradise Dr, which intesects with Easy St. Just up the road is the 'Sun' streets - Sun Ct, Sunfish, Sundew, Sunray, Sunflower, Sunset, Sunrise, and Sunbeam. Over in the older part of town is Pestalozzi, Zbinden, and Zschokke.

Golden Springs! I always giggle to myself on this street.

We have TickleNaked Pond Road which leads to . . . . you guessed it; out to Tickle Naked Pond. But it doesn't have a Nudist Colony any more.

The only Nudist Colony around here now is out at Lake Willoughby, where we schedule plenty of "showings" in the Summer. When it's -40°F, not so much !

Look to the LAST for BEST (at least most entertaining)

MO Herb (in Hampton VA)
Jolly Pond Road
Brick Bat Road
Devils Three Jump Rd.
Bumpy Road

Sorry to be crude-but I am just conveying...

Lickinghole Road zip 23063 in VA to prove I'm not makin' it up. Here are the directions from an MLS listing----Dir: route 6 in Goochland head west. Left on Rock Castle.Right on Three Square. Left on Stokes station. Left on Marlin. Left lickinghole rd.
Okay, I win. You gotta love the South

?? - Welcome & Hang in there

My favorite so far, especially with the directions.

What about.....

Memory Lane (a real street in a city I service)

and

Lois Lane (a real street in the East Bay!)

How did we know that it would be before you even posted

there is a Crooke Ave in Brooklyn NY

I'm easily lost, so i'm never to proud to ask for directions.

How about these from Salem, MA, "The Witch City":
Witch Way, Witch Hill Rd, Witchcraft Rd, Cauldron Ct, Gallows Hill Rd, Gallows Circle

In Amberg, WI there is a Nutt Road just up the road from Funny Farm Lane. The sign kept getting stolen from Funny Farm Lane so the town renamed it Sunny Farm Lane.

Gobblers Knob Rd. is the funniest I can think of. I almost drove off the road, spilling my coffee all over the place while laughing my @ss off.

ROTFLMAO. Now THAT's funny! Thanks for the laugh this morning.

Linda

Alimony Cove

In the late 70s / early 80s, there were some blank slabs just sitting there in that neighborhood.

Here we have Rainbow that crosses Pot O Gold, Success, Faith and Happiness. Another part of town is N Bates Rd, yet another is Fatio Blvd which always makes my kids laugh.

I am on my way to 10413 BUFFAPPLE DR.

I guess it is a cross between a buffalo and an apple. Or this is the action you do with an apple prior to eating it. Or it is a strong apple.

Maybe it is a cleaned up version of "buffalo chips," which is a cleaned up way of saying manure.

johannesburg riesling road, pinot noir lane, merlot terrace, chardonnay lane. My wife grew up in Southern California. These were the street names in her neighborhood. She learned her wines at a early age!

I won this contest last year. In Port Jefferson Station NY we have a tobacco section. Marlboro Dr, Winston Lane, Newport Drive, Viceroy Place, Kent Rd and Salem Rd, probably planned in 1960. What the hell were they thinking about. Maybe the planners got tobacco cash for free advertising

I don't know if this will qualify, but these streets are in suburban West Palm Beach --
Faith, Dream, Happiness, Success, Rainbow and Pot O Gold

By themselves, nothing special, but together they're trying to tell a story.

In the area of Forest Hill Blvd and Kirk Road

Holey Moley Road; and Keep Out Lane seem to fit.

I just noticed last week that someone stole the sign off Keep Out Lane.

We also have Nudist Camp Road and Tickle Naked Pond Road.

Just putting Tickle Naked Pond down reminds me that we probably have a thread on this already.

PS: Nope, this is the same thread, re-awakened after a nine month slumber.

We have a subdivision here that is Nut Farm, in it is Pecan St, Almond St, etc. I almost want to move there so I can say I live in the Nut Farm

Just keep on crankin' out those REO's and BPO's, and you won't have to move.......you'll know you've lived it...I'm currently working on my third round trip.......lol

PA Roadkill, I have to look for those next time I'm out there.

They're right off Kirk just north of FHB. There's also 2 Easy streets in the area. One is off Summit just west of I-95 and the other is off Prosperity Farms Rd just south of PGA. Come to think of it, Prosperity Farms is kind of an odd name for a street

Butts Rd - not kidding and it is by the high school. Guess how many times that has been stolen.

Fifteenletter St So I count it the damn characters and they are 15!!!!

Here on Tenafly NJ, Tenakill RD.

Bon Huer street, and you can imagine what my gps calls it.

Can't resist adding to this list.

In an Atlanta area neighborhood: Hemming Way.

Even funnier when you realize it could have two meanings, as it runs off of Paisley and intersects with Singer.
BP

Rest-a-bit Rd

Lizard Lick Rd

Whichard Cherry Lane RD - yes that is Lane Rd and not a typo.

all in rural NC :)

"NEW PRIVATE ROAD"

actual street name not just a colorful description

I like 'Divorce Court in Heather Highlands, Pa' Myself. Then as a close second theres always 'The intersection of Lonesome and Hardup in Albany, Ga.'

J~

"Gentle Stroke"

just stumbled upon this one

I had an asset earlier this year in HI on Puunani Dr.... think about it.

Also there is an area around Austin Tx called Tahitian village with all Hawaiian names like Keanahanalulu I thought was kind of odd.

There's a town near me where the main street through town is Broad. Nothing wrong with that. Except every street coming off of it or that intersects it are women's names. Like Ethel, Alice, Ester, Sue,

Too funny!!!!!

French Hussy Road in Rochester, NH.

Possum Trot Rd. Seriously - you can go to maps.google.com and type in Possum Trot Rd, Greenbrier, TN

Not a street, but funny nonetheless...

The Amigone Funeral Home (pronounced Am-I-Gone) next door to the Gezuar Cemetary (pronounced Yes-You-Are).

Oh my Goshhhhhh

I forgot about this one -- AWOL Road -- leads to a military base.

Owner: PEOPLE ETH TRTMT ANIM (PETA)

It is an owner name, not a street name, but PETA sold this comp which might go in a BPO I am doing in Norfolk, where the organization is headquartered.

This is off topic but,

PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals.

No offense to the vegans out there. I had a Vegan friend once who said that she never ate anything that had been alive.

So I reminded her that the onion on her salad had not only been alive but still was alive. I said she was just lazy. She only ate living things that could not run away.

It took her about a month to forgive me.

Hope I don't ruffle any feathers with this. (please not pun completely intentional and intended)

2828 FRYING PAN FARM LANE

Directions: Rt 17, L @ Wendy's, L @ Post Office, follow to Frying Pan

Sesame Street in Torrance, CA

Nonesuch Road in Abi-lame, errr Abilene, TX

How about Askarben Lane? It is Nebraska backwards. Kinda stupid.

Or how about this one:

Dry Butte Lane

Okay these are towns on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, not streets. Still good for a laugh though.

Assawoman and Onancock

The there is Temperanceville.

Check it out on a map sometime. Funny stuff.

My apologies in advance....

This is a funny town names submission, not street, but I thought it would fit best here without starting a new topic.

While in college in Grand Forks, ND (years ago) there was a Climax, MN and a Fertile, ND that would occasionally get mentioned on the TV news. Our sophomoric brains had us pondering if a woman from Fertile happened to be in a tragic accident in Climax would the headline be "Fertile woman dies in Climax"?

I hope I don't get a lot of PMs about that

Way too many funny roads and towns posted. Makes you wonder what these people were thinking.

While on vacation many years ago, we stopped at a campground in Intercourse, Penn.(Amish country, near Lancaster) When my husband wrote down that we were from Loves Park the desk gal thought that was a funny name for a town!!

Intercourse is 3 miles from Bird-In-Hand. From Intercourse it's just a 20 minute drive to Blue Ball. It's nice to have choices in Pennsyltucky. (Miss my hometown )

Hey Ryan, get the story right, please.

You have to drive through Bird-In-Hand to get to Intercourse. And if you take a wrong turn, you wind up in Blue Ball....

And if you think the place names are funny, wait till somebody posts the street names....

How about... Punta Gorda?

Punta Gorda, FL. Roughly translated it means "Fat Point" it is due to it's shape and the way it juts into Charlotte Harbor.

Charlotte county also has a street call "Burnt Store Road". You guessed it. From many years ago when there were few roads and fewer stores the one on this road Burnt to the ground.

Saw this list on the net:

15 Funniset Street and Road Names

got a Fortune Cookie Lane today, couldn't verify the house, this does not bode well for me

EXIT 69 Big Beaver Rd

Bloody Basin Rd

Dead Man Wash Rd

Pulled a comp on a road called "Long Wood" which ever so dutifully intersected "Hard Wood", both of which were in the "Morning Wood" subdivision.

The last two posts have officially won this contest, unless there is a Cialis St somewhere

How about Clinzo Feemster Rd?

I would post a pic but I don't know how to paste one on here.

Thrush (!!!!)

Heil (Hell)

Not a funny name but when I was going to Crapo St today. Pronounced "cray po" my GPS lady said "crap o" when I got there. I think I will change my GPS lady. LOL.

It's always a good chuckle when the seductive female voice in my GPS tells me to take a hard right on Dick Rd.

Flirtation Avenue

I like the ones where the developer named the streets after his family. Bettylou lane, Aaron Ave. Susie ct

We have an intersection of Johnson and Seamen roads which I always found amusing

I would be worried if they were my kid's names - and I wasn't the developer

Wicked Sisters Way

My Own Road
Hooker Street
Piddle Road
Foxy Lane
Geoghagan
Lake Say-Hi

Just a few in south Ga.

bear right on Pumphouse Rd to end then right on Loving Union

Horny Butte Trail

No Head Bottom Road

Seed Tick Road.

Deuce of Clubs in Show Low, AZ (where my office is)
Bucket Of Blood Street in Holbrook, AZ
Road To the Past in Pinedale, AZ
Bustin' Dutch Lane in Linden, AZ
Hog Wash Rd in Linden, AZ

There isd a MO Herb Rd around these parts.

We have:

Stony Lonesome Road
Chinaman Road
No Name Blvd
Old Township Road
Grasshopper Way (there's a couple of them)

and even....yes...
Yellow Brick Road

I saw a sign but it may have been a joke as "my way".

Romancoke Avenue

I think it is a big name in Maryland, but this is in rural VA.

I think some builder named it after his wife asked him what he drank at the bar. 'Juss a few, huup, romancokes Dear.'

Just saw this one in MLS
Fannies Ln

I am not responsible for any connections drawn here...

Pullers Hill Road
Old Squaw Lane
Screamersville
Happy Hill Rd.
Pickadat Corner

R on Templeton to L on Hair Rd

That is one styling intersection. I'll have to buzz on over and check it out. I'll comb through the map book to see if I can find it. If I do I will let you know.

Short Johnson Road in Clayton, NC...

Tom, Dick, and Harry Lane, Perrysville, OH 44864

Bumfagon Road, Loudon, NH

Zzyzx Rd. located off I-15 Mojave Desert, near Baker,California and about 80 miles from the Ca/Nevada state line.
Its claim to fame is being the last word in the English language.

I passed Old Meany road a couple days ago. Made me laugh.

Old Boring Lane, Woodstock GA

What is involved in getting a street named what you want? I see some street names with peoples last names that live there??

Don't know, but, I believe in Virginia, every freaking little street, road, whatever had to have a name for fire and rescue to locate homes/people.

It's pretty common to see streets named after the wives and kids of the guy who developed a particular area. Or also, sometimes they're named after a prominent family who owned a big farm in the area. But mostly, our rural roads just have numbers now. Boooorrrrring!

Just saw this.
Gitchee Gummie Road

Wong Way in Easton, MA

Makes me chuckle whenever I drive by this street

There is only 1 house on that street. So the owner probably gave it that name so people won't drive down it.

Peep Toad Ct

I have a Mexico City street in Kansas City, MO.

Bingo Blvd.

Thankful Lane

Just saw this in MLS. Fannies Ln.

Hogsback and Buck Rub Rds.

Hooker Pl, Staten Island. Never fails to make me laugh. :grin:

There's a street near me called Mangrove Drive.

I never laughed so much. Every time I drive by it, I crack up. Who comes up with these names? :P

There's a street in our subdivision called Wickerberry. What in the world is a wickerberry?

I don't know but it's in Georgia too. PA Roadkill - What the HECK are you doing up at 4:52 AM?!!! Trying to become roadkill?

Ah, a mangrove is a kind of tree. Maybe those trees are near this road and that's how it got the name? What do you think?

Actually was 5:52AM. I think AOL is set to CST. But I'm often up by 4AM

^^^^^^^^^^
Haha

Mangrove is a type of foliage type tree which grows in swamps and is vital to the eco system.

That's what she said!

Awesome.

I couldn't make it up if I tried. Nohead Bottom located on General Puller Highway. Great googly moogly.

Came upon these two yesterday while in an area I never visited before:

Caution Drive and Affection Drive

Guess you should try to use both

Coolwater Ave

I did a bpo today on Findlater Road. Don't think I would have had that one in on time if I had followed that advice

In our area, we have a Possum Trott Rd and a Tater Peeler Rd.

Just saw this. Uncle Willies Way.

Wow "tater peeler", that would be a great address to have!!!
