If we're going to expand this to other unusual street names, there's a street in Elkhart County, IN, named Hemlock Court and every time I drive by there I ask myself who would ever buy a house there? I think I'd need a house to be at least 20% below market value before I'd tell my friends, family and employer that I moved to Hemlock Court.
How is that any different than Maple, Oak, Pine, Spruce ...

They named it after the tree, not the poison.



Yeah, there are streets named "Hemlock" all over the place.  There is a "Hemlock Drive" just a few blocks from my house.

There is a village in Central Macedonia named Snouphlaouphagos (Σνουφλαουφαγός), which changed its name last year in honor of Mr. Snuffleupagus's 50th birthday.  The road heading west out of town is now called Snouphlaouphagos Provincial Road (Επαρ. Οδ. Σνουφλαουφαγού).
