        How big were these cats, anyway?

          I always wondered that.

          The only cats there now are stray ***** cats

              Not far from my place there is a Karma avenue and a Nirvana avenue. I often go past a street named 'The Crofts'- it's a weird name, and I always think of Sid and Marty Krofft, even though it is spelt differently

                I'm always driving around for work and often wonder what streets would be deal breakers if I were buying a house.
                In my service area:
                Powderpuff Lane
                Podacarpus Ave
                The Mall (That's it, just a short residential street called "The Mall")
                Thames Street (just for the annoyance of the many versions of pronunciation)
                Gimgong Street

                Streets that I would sacrifice a little on the house hunt to live on in my area:
                Bee Pond Road
                The 400 block of Mary Jane Lane

                While working customer service years ago I once mailed something to an address on Peep Toad Road. I would consider moving there and figuring out a job later...

                  All the residential streets in my town are either named after fruit, flowers, or local grove-owning families.

                  However I once was in a city where I turned onto a Lois Ln.

                      Not a Street, but the name of a village: Climax, Saskatchewan.

                      Leaves me speculating on what the streets are called...

                        There are some interesting small town names out towards Lancaster, Pa, leading to the famous regional saying, "You have to go through Intercourse to get to Paradise."

                        And I have a relative who lives on Endlich Lane, which makes me giggle.

                        But nothing beats this little gem:

                          I had no idea this thread would be so funny!

                          We have Hillgirt Circle, Fruitvale Ave., Dimond Park...and others I know I'm forgetting.
