    Our next street over is Rucker. This is not that weird, except when you consider that we live near a high school. The first letter of that street name is constantly being painted over so it reads...*ucker !

    Be well,

    That reminded me of the street near where I grew up in East Meas, AZ. The streets name was Recker Rd.. I'll let you figure out what we, I MEAN THEY!.. turned it into.

    In Memphis, Tennessee it would have to be East Parkway south. At one time Parkway circled the city. That was about 1940. East Parkway was the eastern edge of the city. East Parkway south is the about the only remnent of this road naming. It is the southern edge of the east parkway.

    Easy Street or Penny Lane.

    But my favorites that are not in my town are "Divorce Court" and "Psycho Path"

    Zzyzx road in California. It leads to Zzyzx Springs, which has a pretty interesting story in itself.

    You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully.

    Ahhh good old Zzyzx. I remember watching for that road sign with my dad on our yearly family road trips out west. It was always one of the days highlights. Really.

    What's the intersting story?
