Folklore: Street names

In the thread Lyr Req: Take Me Back to New Orleans (Chris Barber) PoppaGator informed us that New Orleans has streets named after all nine of the Greek muses. Those would be Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania.

(You can see nearly all of them in this Google map. You might have to pan up a bit to see Clio or down to see Urania.)

I'm impressed.

Here and I thought Minneapolis was sophisticated for having a series of streets that run alphabetically!

They go: Aldrich, Bryant, Colfax, Dupont, Emerson, Fremont, Girard, Humboldt, Irving, James, Knox, Logan, Morgan, Newton, Oliver, Penn, Queen, Russell, Sheridan, Thomas, Upton, Vincent, Washburn, Xerxes, York, and Zenith. Then the series starts over with Abbott, Beard, Chowen, Drew, Ewing, France, Glenhurst, Huntington, Inglewood, Joppa, Kipling, Lynn, Monterey, Natchez, Ottawa, Princeton, Quentin, Raleigh, Salem, Toledo, Utica, Vernon, Webster, Xenwood, Yosemite, and Zarthan. Then—would you believe it?—Alabama, Brunswick, Colorado, Dakota, Edgewood, Florida, Georgia, Hampshire, Idaho, Jersey, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Rhode Island, Sumter, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, Xylon, Yukon, Zinran. Then—can you stand it?—Aquila, Boone, Cavell, Decatur, Ensign, Flag, Gettysburg, Hillsboro, Independence, Jordan, Kilmer, Lancaster, Melrose, Nathan, Orleans, Pilgrim, Quaker, Revere, Saratoga, Trenton, Union—and I think the system sort of breaks down there. By then, you're pretty far out in the suburbs and the streets don't follow much of a grid any more.

I don't want to give the impression the system is all-encompassing. It isn't. Where the grid is interrupted by lakes, parks, industrial areas, and so on, you sometimes find that they have squeezed in a street that doesn't fit the pattern. Yet the pattern exists.

What's even weirder, in the town of Ramsey, which is one of the northwestern suburbs of Minneapolis, they have a bunch of streets named after chemical elements, also arranged more or less alphabetically, even though the streets mostly don't follow a grid: Argon, Barium, Cobalt, Dysprosium, Erkium (a mistake for Erbium?), Fluorine, Germanium, Helium, Iodine, Junkite (I don't know where they came up with that, but it's really a street, and there is no element that starts with J), Krypton, Lithium, Magnesium, Neon, Osmium (why not Oxygen?), Potassium, Quicksilver (they needed a Q, I guess, so they used an old name for mercury), Radium, Sodium, Tungsten, Uranium, Vanadium, Wolfram (they needed a W, so they used the old name for tungsten), Xenon, Yttrium, Zirconium. After that, there seems to be a series based on minerals or rocks.

OK, here's my question: what cool or weird street names exist in a city you're familiar with?
