Last time I was in DC, my friend Vicky told me about how part of her job is to work with a database of street names. In her day to day work, she finds interesting ones like the one below.
She emails and GChats these to friends. I suggested she make a blog about it. I offered to set her up with a domain name, CoolStreetNames.com, and she has started posting some her finds. Below is my favorite so far. When driving around here: Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
Baltic Avenue? Can we infer that that is the cheap part of town?
We all can’t live on E. Boardwalk Dr… I live on St. Charles place, but the mortgaged Electric Company next door is bringing property values down making it hard to sell.
