Strangest street names?

[JT20]

If you're talking about Preventorium near Howell High School and Farmingdale, NJ I think it was named after the Preventorium, which was a facility for kids who were exposed to TB but not sick. If one of your parents got sick you would be sent to the Preventorium. Supposedly it is still part of the Howell municipal complex.

Yeah, that's the one.

I keep thinking I'm going here:

Old Gobblers Knob in Lufkin, TX. Still can't figure out how that name came into existence.

Turkeys, duh.

Kind of like Bunghole Rd

A bung is something made for the pouring in or out from a barrel..

There is I St. in DC that some people write as Eye St. I'm sure there are some out of towners driving around looking for an Eye St. when they passed I St. five times already.

Not really strange I don’t guess but definitely a favorite of mine. I live down from a road called Sweet Annie Drive some say it’s named after the song Sweet Annie others say it is named after a plant which is why it is strange to me lol.

Also Twelve O’Clock Knob Road lol another road that is close to me.

Ft. Wayne, Indiana, home of Blackstone labs, has a street named after a Former Mayor, and a few years back they had a online poll to came up with a name for their new "Government Center" building, and this former mayor's name was the top pick, though the City/county Govt flatly said...No Way... great guy, but NO.




by the way, his family changed the pronunciation sometime ago, they say it like "Bales"

AutoMechanic lives where if I am not mistaken there is Blue Bell (two towns named Blue Bell?) As well as a Blue Ball (Virginia.)

I've seen some doozies, but I'm sure they are everywhere.

Two that always stuck with me are..

Chain O'Hills Rd
and
Preventorium Rd.

The first sounds like I'm in Ireland . The second.. like I'm headed to Silent Hill.

What are some of the craziest street names you've ever seen, and, if you want, where were they?

I live within eyesight of Chain O'Hills Rd. I assume you are in NJ

They also have "Lower Wacker" in Chi town.

Doesn't San Jose have Floppy drive?

In Toronto Mike Myers has his own street named after him.

In Doylestown PA, there is a "Burnt house Hill road". Guess they couldn't think of any other name that day.
