Situation By Street Name
As a newcomer here, may I begin by saying hello to everyone
And as intended ones to the U S A, my wife and I are choosing where to live, and perhaps, if more moneys become available, on where eventually, to settle. But wherever we come to be situated, it would be nice for us to show a special street name. Consquently, we've decided we'd like to live on Gunsmoke Drive; and we wouldn't, on anything to do with a celebrity, sports personality, &c

Re: Situation By Street Name
Thus, we'd be interested to see other `special´ street names
And we'd like to know which to avoid

There's a Ponce Avenue near us.
We have the matching food market.

Like Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, I'd sure love to live in `K. C.´ – you know, `on the corner of 12TH Street and Vine´ Street. Otherwise, I suppose one could just be `stood ´ there, yes?

Re: Situation By Street Name
When I first moved over to the US, we were trawling to a bunch of garage sales trying to get some cheap furniture (never got any, the stuff was all junk. Hideous. Argh).
Anyway, one of the places we went to was on Dragon Slayers Lane, in Santa Cruz. Always thought I would like to live there.

There are roads near us called Poverty Hollow and Poorhouse. Despite that, it's a desirable part of town!

Re: Situation By Street Name
I'm on C4, neighbour is on C10.
We used to live on K7, before than on J9.
Yes, these are street names. An unimaginative grid system.
