Psycho Path Voted Wackiest Street Name

I used to live on Elm Street, talk about Nightmares *shudders*

Well, atleast ya don't live on N. South St. or W. East St.!!!

I used to live in Houston very near North Loop East. Go figure.

I used to drive past Memory Lane every day to and from work.

I had a friend named in college named "Michael Street", he had such a hard time ordering pizza delivery that he had to adopt a pseudonym.

hee hee hee did you nominate your street Joy?


My friend's parents live on Goa Way.

1. The evidence is at http://www.thecarconnection.com/Shoppers/Drivers_News/Street_Names_Contest_Winners.S241.A10053.html . Difficult to tell if they were Photoshopped.

2. "Nightmare on Elm Street" refers to the assasination of JFK.

I would have, but Pacific Coast Highway isn't exactly "wacky"

I wanna live on Goa Way

They are in Idaho. I don't remember the whole story, but they were able to pick their own street name. And Goa Way was born. Too bad no one actually reads and understands the sign. They get random weirdos at their house quite a bit. They are the only house on the street too.

I used to drive past "Thunder Road" every day on my way to class when I was in nursing school. It always made me smile, cos it reminded me of one of my favorite Springsteen songs.

We had a tiny little cluster of homes on a court called "Ort Court" in Sayville (on Long Island). Then, when they broke through the court and built more homes along the street, it remained "Ort Court" just because. Sayville had several interesting street names, including "The Way". A little through street between two Avenues.

Now, I live in Florida where they think that naming a road "NE 36th Avenue Road" is normal.

I'd really love to live on "Goa Way" !

Gropecunt Lane was a name used in Oxford, London and other English towns and cities in the Middle Ages for streets where prostitutes conducted their business. The name derives from Cunt, the Middle English term for female genitalia, and the act of groping. There was also a Gropecunt Lane in Dublin, Ireland near where the Savoy Cinema is now. Later sensibilities changed many names of streets bearing this name to more polite variations. [1]

In London, the street that was Gropecunt Lane was near the present-day site of the Barbican Centre in the City of London. The street was called Grub Street in the 18th century, but renamed Milton Street in 1830 [2]. Another street with a similar history in Southwark is Horselydown Lane ("whores lie down", which is just to the south of Tower Bridge, and was also the site of the famous Anchor Brewhouse.

Oxford's Gropecunt Lane, became Grope Lane, and then Grove Lane. It runs from The High to Merton Street, and then on between Merton and Corpus down to Christ Church Meadow. The part north of Merton Street is nowadays called Magpie Lane, but the southern part is still called Grove Passage, and the building in the south-western corner of Merton is also called Grove. The presence of a number of trees in this area perhaps suggested the name — until it was leased in 1513 for building, the site of Corpus was planted as an orchard and used as a garden for the junior members of Merton

Damn you Lucifer, now I wore out my mouse from clicking on all those links!
