For reasons I will not go into here, I recently travelled some 730 miles by automobile. I travelled through a portion of 4 states in doing so. It has been quite some time since I have had a road trip so you notice things.
This is about unusual names of streets, lanes, avenues, roads, or what have you. THe reason I thought this might be fun is that there is a road some miles west of Baker, California, whose name always seemed to me to be trying to be the last entry in a street atlas. Those who have driven the I15 through California on its eastern edge will have seen it for sure (in either direction).
ZZYZX RD is the offramp. I always pronounce it in my head as zizzix. Anyone can have a go at how you would say it out loud.
Anyway, does anyone else have an odd name for a thoroughfare. All comments are welcome.
