Alison and I agree that North Carolina has the greatest street names in the USA.
In Tampa, FL, I live on Lambright St. Alison lives on Maurine Cove Lane. I have also to lived on Louisiana Ave, Shadecrest, Gateway Dr., N. Lakeview, and Brigadoon. Not a terrible name in the bunch, but nothing great either.
Now, take North Carolina. We can only figure that young William got to name his own street when we passed Billyville Road. I don't care if other people live here, it's called Billyville.
Then there were the food streets: Butterbean, Hamhock, Sugarlikker Lane (Alison's favorite), LickSkillet (Billy probably named that one too before he moved.)
There were roads which describe an event or object that happened on the road: My favorite (and I figure where Will Ferrell and some of Santa's other helpers did some time) Elf School Road, Burnt Schoolhouse (Billy again, though he was never charged), KilPatrick Point (they told him, so they had to!), Kilmore Road (they just couldn't stop at Patrick.)
Churches there also got to name their roads. Extreme Holiness Road, Church on Fire Road (Billy, you'll go to church and like it! Not for long mom!)
There were a bunch more, but we didn't write them down, I reckon I'll just put in a call to Billy and find out what else is in North Carolina!

Hey didn't Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, and Hugo Weaving also go to that school?
Yes they did, I bet you didn't know they were Tarheels, but they are!
Driving across Tennessee, there was an exit for Stinking Creek Road ... How'd you like to have to sell real estate on that one!
