To take it even more a step further (but still in the same genre)...

My favorite CHT Route name is the "Severen/Weiner" bus....serving those street names.

That sounds painful.

Holly springs has Bibleway. Too much to live up to on that suburban street.

I don't mean to sound nitpicky but it's Strickland, not Strictland, which makes a difference in this context.

Although Strictland Rd. would be a great name for a road with a reform school.

Of course it’s Strickland. I just didn’t catch it before I posted it. Thanks

Or the scotch fans. Those brands of scotch have been around longer than Harry Potter. I only know because I cocktailed at the Angus Barn and because my MIL used to be a Glenfiddich drinker (almost 30 years ago).

Fun related fact. As a kid we lived off Kildaire for a while and I thought it was "Kill Their Farm" road...which was pretty intriguing. Whose farm was being threatened? I was probably 12 before I actually paid attention to the street sign and saw how it was actually spelled/pronounced.
