Best name for a road or place?
Always loved the name of this road. The last place on Earth. It was originally founded by a crazy old man Curtis Howe Springer who named it ZZYZX since it would be the last word in the dictionary, and hence "the last place on Earth". roy

Re: Best name for a road or place?
Amanda's family is very good friends with the Mungos, the largest homebuilders. They contribute a street name at a auction for pets and Amanda and I won it one year. So we named it after our daughter its in the housing area that her moms lives in. So she is kind of celebrity in the housing area.

I found this Rusty Buncher name on my trip in the USA.
And this amusing pair of names is right near Angry Gary's home.

Near the Pittsburgh airport, there is a sign where you take a left to go to Beaver, PA or a right to go to Moon, PA - depending on your preference......

Spotted this in Blue Springs, Mo. I was trying to find cans while my wife was at the mall.

Re: Best name for a road or place?
Good ol' Exit 69. That's up around Auburn Hills, MI, where all the tech centers for auto manufacturing are. I knew a guy who was in robotics at Asea-Brown-Boveri up there. He fielded a customer phone call at one point - a rather perfunctory, no-nonsense woman who was coming in from one of the auto plants to check on some custom ordered piece of automation. She asked how to get to the ABB facility from I-75, and the conversation went as follows. (Yes, this actually happened.)thatsus02 wrote:this is one of my favorites
ABB Guy: "Go north and exit 69 is where you'll get off."
Customer Lady: "Are you trying to be funny?"
ABB Guy: "No, ma'am. You want exit 69."
Customer Lady: "Very well. What's the name of that crossroad?"
- pregnant pause -
ABB Guy: "Uhh...Big Beaver Road, ma'am."

Re: Best name for a road or place?
This is my personal favorite. I first noticed it while traveling from Chicagoland to one of the Buckeye shows in Toledo. You pass under this on the 80/90 toll road in northwest Ohio:

Re: Best name for a road or place?
Not even in New York City do you get street names like this.
This was somewhere in South Dakota. Maybe they were planning for future urbanization.
BTW no cans or dumps in the area.

Re: Best name for a road or place?
I'm partial to the name of this little town in the Finger Lakes Region of New York.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: Best name for a road or place?
They do that just north of where I live and south of where I live. I think its weird. All the streets in Ottawa county here are numbers north and south and presidents east and west.Rockbob wrote:In Rice Lake, Wi. They name their streets with numbers and fractions. For example 8 1/4 street.

How about the town of Bourbon, Missouri? I should take a picture of their water tower with the name "BOURBON" in huge letters on both sides. (If only that was what it REALLY contained ... !)
