Thread Name: BS: Unusual Street/Road Names
Subject: RE: BS: Unusual Street/Road Names
I work with mailing lists a lot, and I have noticed lots of odd addresses. The most confusing place in America would have to be Honolulu. It's FULL of streets with names like Aholehoe Street, Ahonui Street, Ahu Lane, Ahua Street, Ahuahu Place, Ahualani Place, Ahuawa Loop, Ahui Street, Ahukini Place … and those are just a few consecutively-listed streets from the ZIP Code directory. Can you imagine trying to find your way around there? Taking directions from someone on the phone?

Then there's the entire state of Utah, where MANY cities and towns have addresses like S 3095 W 2700, or E 5400 S 500. Those are not just house numbers; they are complete street addresses. Logical, maybe, but boring.
