My favorite... the most exciting neighborhood in Saratoga County.

I sometimes wonder how someone who lives on these can take themselves seriously when telling another person their address.

I don't know if it really qualifies as funny, but today when driving back from the Eastern Sierra, I came across "Manzanar Reward Road."

The name makes sense, because Reward is a small community nearby Manzanar. But if you know your history, associating those two words together is... odd.

Somebody has to have mentioned Shreveport's Stoner Avenue.

Searching within a thread searches for all instances in that thread only (elsewhere, it's a maximum of one per thread, but throughout the whole forum). No need to manually look through 34 pages; the word Stoner only returns one result (two once I submit this), and it's yours.

There's also a Stoner Lane in Rogers, AR.

Not so much funny, as unusual:  Toh-N-hah, here in Wichita

Gives new meaning to half-ton pickup.

These streets are in a subdivision in Metairie, LA (suburb of New Orleans): Shamrops, Canary Ansas, Cocos Plumosas, Washingtonian, Robeline, and Reclanada.  Apparently they are variations of palm trees, but some of those names for streets are, well, bizarre.  I wonder how many strange misspellings the Postal Service has to deal with.

Capslock Trail in Pendleton, South Carolina.

No Street View to determine the number of upper case letters in the sign.

As I visit my friend in Independence, Missouri, I am amused by the fact the street at the end of his street is R. D. Mize Rd. I don't know who R.D. Mize is, but I worry about our demise.

Lake Forest, CA has a whole series of roads named after Sesame Street characters  in the Kimberly Gardens neighborhood.

A huge subdivision in my hometown a decade ago decided to name some of their streets after some rare breeds of horses. Andalusian and Palomino I get. But Trakehner and Hanoverian? They did some deep research.

Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.
