Also, in the slightly weird street names, we have a local street named East Street....which runs north and south (with "N" & "S "designations on the signage). I'm sure it was named after someone rather than the direction, but I've always found it strange.
Maybe at one time it was the eastern edge of the city?
Monster Road in Renton, WA. Named for a farmer (Charles A.) that lived in the area where the road currently runs.I am completely stunned that no one mentioned this one yet. Especially ErmineNotyours, since he's so familiar with Renton.
STREET GETS `FUN' NAMENewspaper April 29, 1998 | Seattle Times, The (WA)Author: CHERYL M. HARRIS | Page: B3 | Section: SOUTHWEST | Column: BRIEFLY151 WordsRead News Document Listen with webReaderTUKWILAAfter some confusion as to whether a Monster Road really exists in Tukwila, an old part of Southwest Grady Way has a new name.Council members voted to rename the stretch of road "Fun Center Way" because of a new Family Fun Center that is scheduled to open next year near the old alignment of Grady Way, cornered between Interurban Avenue South and Southwest Grady Way.The name change was at the request of the developer.The El Cajon, Calif., company plans to have go-carts, miniature golf, a restaurant and hotel.Initially, when the company proposed the name change to the City Council, many concerned residents, including members of the Monster family now living in Enumclaw, thought it wanted to rename Monster Road. The area was settled by John Monster around 1880.After some research, city officials found that there was no problem, because Monster Road is in Renton, not in Tukwila.
Not necessarily a street, but there is a tiny town in Arizona named "why".
This would make more sense if it was spelled “wye”, or even just “Y” ...
Better not take this road, you might be in traffic for a while...
Somebody has to have mentioned Shreveport's Stoner Avenue.
No street view, but this gated community near Port O' Connor, TX has some weird names:Let's Get Drunk (might have to zoom in a bit to see the name here)Rob Me BlindI'm not sure if these are actually the correct street names, but it's what Google shows.
