Do you ever STOP to think of your prospects reaction when you email them a new listing? I try not to interject my own thoughts about particular street names to prejudice a buyers decision but often wonder - What were they thinking when the named this street?
One street I tend to point out while driving couples through town is 
.
Don't know why but it just strikes me as a silly place to live and raise a family.
I may say something like "How about living at 101 Lovers Lane"? The wife may snuggle up to her husband with a suggestive little whisper, a witty husband once said "I'm well beyond lover 101, got anything on the 200 block?"
Lovers Lane may be cute but others just seem odd. Would you like to see the house on North Roast Meat Hill Road? Sounds like a great place to be fat, dumb and happy. Certainly get your share of exercise every time you write the return address.
Fortunately North Roast Meat is in a neighboring town where I generally do not travel. I have enough difficulty with some of the names in my area.
Can I interest you in Martleshamheath Lane? Yea, you heard right, north of the circle off Dorset Lane out Rockland way.
I like simple names, short and sweet, but there are exceptions. I ain't never gone down Gay Street and I especially wouldn't get there via Ben-Dover Way hitting the stiff right on Dipstick Drive.. ( not that there is anything wrong with that )
So... I'm curious to know, What are some of the strange, silly or stupid names in your part of the country?
Some street names and town names are very amusing...we have some British inspired communities, so one name is Glenlivet Way...
Maalox Ct., Louisville, KY
What did the builder have to eat the night before he named the street? What were the city officials thinking when they approved it?
Then there are those that nobody can spell - there's a road near me - a big long possibly German name - that's spelled one way on the street sign at one end and differently on the other end.
There are a few around here that make me scratch my head... but my favorite street names were in the town that had "A" street and "B" street corresponding with "1st" street and "2nd" street. :)
The only problem in our town is that we have too many of the same street... Like Dodge. It stretches through town in about eight locations.
Dan there certainly are a number of strange street names. But there are probably as many strange town names as well. I use to drive through a town in Arkansas on my way to picking up and dropping off my son that was named "Bald Knob" :)
We have one road that always cracks me up.. It's in a hilly area. Helluva Hill Road. How are you?
My favorite is the way my navigator pronounces the streets. Cimarron is "sihMORON" and Fox lake is well............
