What if you lived on No Name Road?
They say developers name many of the roads. I don’t know about that, but I do know I am amused.
A local told me that No Name had a different name until a few years ago. Can you imagine calling in a change of address, “Hello, my new address is on No Name Road.”
How about Hardscrabble Road? Any thoughts or ideas?
PeeWee Lane?
Tatorknob Road? Did the developer dig up unusual tators with knobs on them?
How many streets are named Maple? Maple is nearly as popular as Main.
Here’s a tounge twister. Many roads in southern Ohio contain the word run, such as Millers Run Back Run Road. No, it isn’t a typo. I wouldn’t want to be a kindergarden student trying to memorize (or repeat) that street name!
In Missouri many of the county roads have letters for names. The most entertaining intersection we saw was where three roads met, I O U. Love it!
I was thinking of a best road name contest…I still may do it!

I just saw a picture our daughter took of a mountain road and the name was ‘Awesome Road’. My Aunt lives on ‘Nirvana Street’, she said their street sign gets stolen all the time.Road and street names are interesting and often as unique as the places and people they lead to. Keeps life interesting and amusing for sure.
Awesome Road would be a good one to live on. Life is awesome!
There is a street near us called No Name too and my Uncle used to have a cat named “No Name” though since he couldn’t come up with a name for the cat though.

Funny about the cat, Amy! I call my cat Kitten Kitten. I never named her. So, I guess 10 years from now, when she’s older, she will still be a kitten. Love the street names, by the way!
There is a street also near us called “Mad Anthony Street”.
LOL, Mary! We have 5 kittens in a room in our hay barn right now, they were born while my parent’s and I were on vacation in Georgia, the end of June ’10 and we got back on July 1, ’10 which was a day early than we planned, anyways we had hired help watching our farm and taking care of our critters and we knew a stray cat that came on our property this past winter was going to have kittens soon when we left for GA. We came home and saw that Velvet had her kittens (she was a kitten herself, she was only 8 mos. old when she had them), we didn’t know where the kittens were so 5 weeks after she had them, she got really sick so my Dad rushed her to the vet and we had a high-school kid help us find the kittens so we rushed them to the vet’s since they were a mess, their eyes were matted shut and she put them under a thick multi-flora rose bush! We brought the 4 kittens home and my Mom was on the phone and my Dad brought in a 5th kitten and we rushed it to the vet’s as well then I had to take care of these 5 kittens in my bedroom which my Mom is highly allergic to them but when they got stronger we put them out in our pump house then later moved them to a room my Dad made for especially kittens after they’ve been neutered or spayed and the Mom is doing well now and she has been fixed.
The kittens names are: Grey Puff, Xerox 1, Xerox 2, Xerox 3, Xerox 4 since they look like their Mom except for Grey Puff.
Amy
What a story, Amy. I love the names! How do you keep the Xerox copies/kitten’s names straight? I would imagine they all look alike.
I often wonder how some street names came about, too.
You know there’s always a story behind them.
I cannot help but notice them these days. I always wonder why and how the crazy names came about. I saw one today, Cuckoo Street!
They do look alike Mary since they’re all black except for Grey Puff.

Here in town, our streets are named after someone’s children long ago — William, Louise, Leslie, Miller, Hampton, etc. A couple of counties over, the county roads are named for flowers – petunia, wild thistle, periwinkle, tulip, orange blossom, etc. Then someone had a wild imagination and named the streets First, Second, Third… haha I named my car Joan Rivers – an old girl with a bad facelift. 🙂 Fun post, Mary.
Leave it to you, Deb, to come up with a funny such as that (Facelift), tee hee. I mean that in the best of senses! Nothing like humor!
