Some Cool Street/Road/Highway/Freeway NAMES

Seasonally, part of State St in Columbus becomes Nutcracker Blvd.

And then there's the intersection of Cowabunga Corner and Bodacious Blvd, which existed for at least part of a day in some American city, possibly in a parallel universe...

There used to be a street outside Batavia, OH called Front Wheel Drive.  When the Ford Transmissions plant closed, it was changed to James E. Sauls Dr.

Brick Bat Road in James City County, VA

For the South Park fans:
Kilkenny Ct - West Bend, WI

Little St - Madison, WI (only 500-ft long)

I find it amusing that this is in Austin, Texas, as I would picture most Texans to be hostile to the use of SI:

I only found out last week that their city motto is Keep Austin Weird, if that helps any.

For the South Park fans:
Kilkenny Ct

Columbus has one of those too, in the Hilliard area, though I think it's a through street with a Dr suffix.

Found last weekend in Marquette, IA: "Anti-Monopoly Street". The parking lot and office for the Lady Luck riverboat casino are on that street.

[DandyDan]

Fremont, Nebraska has Sesame Street.

The Westmont subdivision at Highway 370 and 132nd Street in Sarpy County, Nebraska south of Omaha has streets named for the original 7 Mercury astronauts.

Fremont, Nebraska has Sesame Street.

So does Tempe, Arizona.

We have a Hickey Drive (Theodore Hickey) in Joliet.  Then there's the space subdivision off Caton Farm Road with names like Nuclear, Sattellite, Vesta, and Cosmic.

Found last weekend in Marquette, IA: "Anti-Monopoly Street". The parking lot and office for the Lady Luck riverboat casino are on that street.

Wonder if it's named after the board game of that name.

Elmo is a man's first name.  Big whoop.  Now, find me a Jezebel Street, and we've got something!  Oh, wait, Houston (TX) has one.

Cleghorn Road in Cajon Pass, CA.  It is the north end of Cajon Boulevard where it dissapears to be covered over by modern I-15 heading North and East toward Barstow.

It reminds me of that famous cartoon character, I say I say Foghorn Leghorn.

Frelinghuseyn Avenue in Newark, NJ is cool because unless you know the street, you will most likely have trouble pronouncing it.  Free-ling-high-sen is how you say it.

Kinda like Tchoupitoulous Street back home in New Orleans.  (Chop-i-too-lus)

I think Jordanah1 was trying to reference Elmo the Muppet from Sesame Street. Now if you could find a street named Snuffleupagus, then you've found something.

Frelinghuysen.  It's Dutch.  and it explains elegantly why I had thought the freeway in Philadelphia was pronounced "sky-kill".

Burrsville, Caroline County, Maryland:

[US81]

Also in Austin TX: the intersection of Research & Technology Blvds.

[Roadsguy]

Was I beaten to it?

[jp the roadgeek]

Roast Meat Hill Rd. in Killingworth/Clinton, CT

Also:  Bushy Hill Rd in Simsbury, CT.  People are always trying to steal the sign at the corner of Climax Rd.  Gee, I wonder why?
