Ididitmy way. is an actual "way" near where we live.

Good one! It should have been entered in the competition.

Maybe next year.

In the town where my mother lives there are some streets called

This Way
That Wayy
Any Way and
Which Way

Not long after 9/11, the folks living on Anthrax (the developer was a heavy metal fan) thought seriously about changing the name of their street.

Not a road name, but a creek near San Antonio is called "Woman Hollering Creek."

Lake Jackson... lived there. This Way and That Way cross ("It's at the corner of..."). And don't forget North and South Parking Place.

Funny, I have a customer who has business with those streets, so I've mailed things to This Way St. My ex-boyfriend grew up in Lake Jackson (father is Dow-related). Small world.

That would be odd to say, "I live on Bucket of Blood Street." I can imagine what one could do on Halloween!

I rather suspect this one is actually meant as a tribute, but I have no evidence.

Well, I live near a township named "Buzzard's Bay". A friend of my hubby's used to live on "Buzzard's Pathway"...I always thought they flew, not jogged?

A small town I used to live in had a couple of bars named The Other Place and Somewhere Else, the joke being if you weren't somewhere else you were at the other place. Did I mention it was a small town.

Not up there with the others, but my doctor is on Yellowbrick Road.
And we aren't in Kansas any more (and never have been).

Dazit Road wasn't entered.

Real place, its somewhere in the backwoods of North Carolina, just outside the Tri-City area. Its down the road a bit from "Leroy Drive" which is pronounce "leh-roy" instead of "lee-roy".

My wife's best friend used to live on Red Toad Road. That won a local contest for most unusual street name.

That made me lough out loud. That has got to be some kind of joke.

There is a road a few miles from here called "No Way". When the statewide 911 system came on line, every single little road (or even a long driveway) had to be named, and some folks got pretty creative.

There's a Lois Lane somewhere around here.

Clinton is a major street (actually a stretch State Highway 90A) on the east of downtown Houston. Fidelity is a long street that runs just east of the I-610 Loop from I-10 to Clinton. I'm looking at Key Map made in 1996.

Not far from Portland, Maine, on Rt. 114 is a private drive called "Keepa Way."

I remember reading long ago of some other unusual street names, including "Wong Way" (named after a man whose last name was Wong), and "Dismustbeda Place" (I'm not sure about the spelling of the last one, but it was something to that effect).

Here's another funny one from New Jersey: "Wits End Road," in Hardyston, off of Rt. 94.
