I think he's referencing this forum's bizarre obsession with goats.

How about in Butts Lane in Purcellville, Virginia?  (Which for some reason, everybody seems to pronounce Percival, and I haven't figured out why yet.)

Yes, I'm 38 going on 5.

The quality on that GMSV image is atrocious.  I need to pass this street on my way to work on Monday (I'm at a customer site so I'm not normally commuting this way).  I'll try to remember to snap a pic.

This is the first time that I have seen central be used as a suffix for words.

I noticed the road changes names mid way (Hidden Lake Rd. to Poop Rd. Central). Must be a county line I can't see.

I, too, have not seen "central" used as a suffix before. I would venture a guess that there are other places where "central" is used as a suffix.

I only know of one street with the suffix alley, "Post Alley" in Seattle. And they don't shorten Alley to "Al" anywhere that I know of.

That said, you're probably right.

No kidding? Gosh, "alley" is extremely common in cities around the U.S. And yeah, "Al" is the typical abbreviation on signs that I've seen.

I've seen plenty of street signs for named alleys, but if they abbreviate that word I've usually seen "Aly"–typically in all caps, so "ALY," but either way it looks a little like a girl's name.

I can only find two other instances of "alley" in my area (besides Post Alley, which is more of a tourist attraction anyway). Both (1)(2) are where Google has labelled an alley as "Alley" :-D.

I'll be frank, I myself did not know of the abbreviated street name suffix for "Alley." I don't recall that I have ever personally seen it anywhere on the road, or even on the internet. But I know now. That is very interesting.  :nod:


Also, this might come off as a bit strange, but when I first read "Wilky Mackey Al," it sounded to me like a person named Al being described by two weird, unknown adjectives that came before it (probably due to the fact that I, like jakeroot, did not know what "Al" was referring to until the later replies).

:hmmm:  :rofl:
