KnoxVegas will get kick out of this.
This street name is located in Tennessee as someone wrote that it is the only road up to Constipation Ridge. This came from The Car Connection.com. I also am sending y'all the top 10 weirdest and wackiest street names in the U.S. sponsored by Mitsubishi Motors. I believe this information was on Saturday, February 25, 2006 at:

ADDENDUM I am now wondering if Mitsubishi, CBS News, The Car Connection, and I may have been had. There is an interesting blog at

I had to really find out if Constipation Ridge is really in Tennessee, and it turns out that it may be in Story, Arkansas. I am sure KnoxVegas would easily spot a rat. I was googling Constipation Ridge, and I keep getting "Story, Arkansas." The person who wrote the blog suspects that some of those photos may have been "rigged."

There is an overpass over I-95 around Chester, Pa that if I remember correctly identified the bridge as Blueball Avenue...never failed to bring a smile on the way up to the Lehigh Valley.

I always liked Salsipuedes St. in Santa Barbara. The translation is "Leave If You Can". It's also the name of a surf break in Baja. http://www.surfline.com/travel/surfmaps ... cfm?id=388

16 miles northwest of gainesville there is a town called Lacrosse.
Street signs bearing "lacrosse 18" "lacrosse 11'' "lacrosse 5" "welcome to lacrosse'' may or may not have gone missing.

I've surfed and camped at Salsipuedes numerous times. Absolutely gorgeous and a nice point break too.

Later during the day, I also recalled seeing this sign near Waller, Texas (located near Highway 290) which is closer to Houston, there is a street called Kickapoo.
I know this is not quite a street name, but every time I go to North Carolina in the summers, I always get a kick out of seeing the highway marker saying, "Little Pee Dee River."
It is quite amazing how people in the U.S. or in Canada or in Mexico or even in the Netherlands would come up with those street names.

There is a private drive just outside of Duluth. Feel free to sensor me if its inappropriate.

When I was at Auburn, a girlfriend stole the Lacrosse City Limits sign for me...now that's love.
Oh, and when I was in the Army at Ft Bragg, NC, I lived on Dyke St. Members of a certain orientation were always getting "hassled" by the local police for their attempts to , um, laterally re-allocate the above mentioned asset. I used to wonder if it were really that boring a town when the cops had to stake out Dyke St to stop the rash of sign thieves in comfortable shoes.

When I was at Western Michigan the big sign to steal was for a little town just east of Kalamazoo--CLIMAX!
There's also a Hell, Michigan.
