Funny street name

We have a Hardscrabble Road out our way.

It occurred to me with that road - and the same goes for all of yours - that the roads would've had very different names had they been named by the people who lived at the bottom.

somewhere on the most recent cross country ride I can remember seeing a "bought and paid for road" along with "been there lane" and "dunwithit road."

And of course in Alabama there were infinite varieties of crimson, crimson tide, red tine and red crimson roads, lanes, places.

It is also my experience that any time a street name contains, breezy, windy, heights, pinetree, orchard, ridge, vista, run, view or scenic, it usually involves at least one climb.

Around here in the dry Texas prairie we seem to abound with oceanic and water related words like bay, harbor, shallows, banks, lake, stream etc. Go figure.

Near where I lived in Louisiana were the following:
Hickory
Dickory
Dock

And then when I lived on the White Mtn Apache Reservation were:
Ben Gay - where the tribal elders lived
6-pack - 6 houses on a cul-de-sac
One Step - the street next to the cemetary
One Step Beyond - the next street over

I drive past a "Jacka$$ Hill" on my way to one restaurant around here. It's a pretty new snobby little development.

As an Alabama alumnus, that's OK!

But, BOOGER HOLLOW RD. near Anniston, Alabama, well, that's just EMBARRASSING!

All of the streets in Carefree seem to have these kinds of names. And yes, Azfiddle, it does appear to be common in other small towns in AZ.
We did a 3 mile hike yesterday and today are heading off to do 6 miles.
Saw lots of cyclists, too .

The next city over vetoed a street name that was on the pole for about 2 months:
