Title: Streets that form words when "St.", "Ave.", "Rd.", etc. is added
Post by: hotdogPi on October 08, 2014, 04:20:50 PM
One good example that appears commonly would be Fir St., forming the word "first". Many streets called Fir St. exist (names of trees are common).

Several exist with lettered streets, like "G Ave.", "H Ave", and "S Ave." Bonus points if you can find an unpaved "P Ave."

However, I'm looking for more interesting examples than just single letters.

if you add the word Boulevard to the word Anvil, then you get the word anvilboulevard, which is a type of exotic marsupial.
