        I think that Vegas has everyone beat. There are so many dumb street names:

        Perfect Parsley Street
        Beautiful Fruit Street
        Magic Moments Lane
        Hank Panky Street
        Wild Thing Court

        Weird Street names in Las Vegas/

        There is also Stars Wars streets

        Skywalker Ave
        Tarkin Ave
        Vader Ave
        Kinobe Ave

          We have a few "Stoner Avenues" in LA. It is a wonder those street signs stay put.

            Not exactly strange or anything, but I grew up on Hancock Place. I remember some older kids making fun of me and I never understood why. I figured it was something dirty so I was too afraid to ask my parents.

              I believe its because it sounds like the combination of the words "hand" and "cock." Can you imagine, seeing a rooster with hands walking down the street? Those children were quite imaginative!

                I just assumed they were mocking John Hancock's signature on the DOI. What a goon!

                  I did a case today for a woman who lives on Merlot Road. Want to guess what she was charged with?

                    This might be true since I'm pretty sure they were anti-federalists too.

                      I thought this thread was going to be about like, "street" names, like O-dog, or Crazy Legs.

                        That is what I was hoping at first as well. So far the names have not been all that crazy/best.

                          I have had a number of landlord tenant cases of people who live on Jingle Bob road.

                            That's funny that the first one you posted was Jones Sausage Rd. Going to the beach, that was always a welcome sign, definitely my favorite street/road name in the world.

                            Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                              Friends visiting from the U.S. commented that "take-shit-a" was an odd name for a street.

                              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
