Street Sign Name Game

Old Roswell Rd --> Lorax Ln  near Taylor, TX

[oscar]

Just one X___ in my inventory, taken for a situation like this.

Lorax Ln. => Xavier Court (McLean VA):



BTW, Fairfax County VA (where this was taken), and the cities and counties it wraps around (Arlington, Alexandria city, Fairfax city, Falls Church city), have a combined population over 1.5 million, and land area over 450 square miles. Only one X___ street in that area.

I was looking here in the Des Moines metro, and there are none. The closest X names I can find are near Ames, about 40 miles away. I could be convinced to go get pictures of them (there's actually a few of them, which would make it worthwhile), but not on a day like today. Too cold.

P.S. While I was looking, I had to complete a captcha for Google Maps because they detected "unusual activity" from my computer.

There's an Xavier here, but I've never photographed it.

I forgot we had an "N Rule" in this thread.

Sumac -> Cypress Hill (Big Cypress Reservation, FL)



There is no apparent road designation.

[MNHighwayMan]

Is "Hill" perhaps the street suffix (albeit a rather unusual one)? I found it in Google Maps and it too just labels it "Cypress Hill."

I don't think there is one, as OSM thought the same. The other nearby streets seem to have suffixes, which makes it odd. This is southern Florida, there are no hills.

Play off "L", I suppose.

I made a post, then removed it. I belatedly realized I'd already played that street name. I'm out of A____ street names, so I couldn't make a substitution.
