Maybe not the strangest, but typical of rural PA:

4 Wheel Drive

There is one in every township

I love the farfrompoopin road

Those are good. Isn't there a road out in Claysburg called Polecat lane or something like that?

The house we bought in Alabama is on Dollywood Dr. No mountains in sight, however.

Our second choice house was on a street off of Elvis Presley Blvd.

A farmer near Shirleysburg put up a "Cow Shit Lane" sign and they made him take it down because of the Creation fest.

The Extra Terrestrial Highway here in Nevada. It is the supposed highway they took the alien on to area 51.

Back before Raystown Lake was built, if you lived in Huntingdon, you had to go through Aitch to get to Paradise.---->JMS

There is Bear Wallow Road, at the end of Carson Valley Road. I am not sure if that is Altoona or Duncansville.

Coming back from the blues cruise about 20 minutes ago, by Shy Beaver there was Double D lane. Immediately i thought of Songsmith.

TRZULICNY, in Osceola Mills. (I hope I spelled it correctly!) When I first noticed it, I thought possibly it had something to do with NY, but as time has gone by, I'm guessing it's a surname. If anyone knows how to pronounce it, I'd appreciate the solving of that riddle.

Two of my favorites are in Yokohama, Japan. You see, a sailor could pick up plenty of geisha girls at the intersection of Hoki and Dori streets. This is how the phrase "hunkey dory" started.

So, whenever some asks how you are and you reply "hunkey dory", keep in mind that your comparing your present status to that of an intersection of prostitutes. True 'dat!!!

I stopped at a Sheetz in Johnstown today that was next to an alley posted Whip Poor Will Place

If any of you ever have the chance to play at Peter B's in Sarver, PA, you'll notice that it is on Rock 'n Roll Lane. It's a barn in the middle of nowhere, but they love their music.

TRZULICNY - tr-zuli-cnee

eastern european - it's either gonna be slavic or hungarian/albanian

common in Northeast Ohio, and parts of New York - so your assumption of NY is kinda right haha

There used to be a stripper bar in the Hornerstown section of Johnstown called Frank's Hen House. When the city had to name all the alleys for 911 purposes, it seemed to make sense to name the alleys in Hornerstown after birds, such as Wren Place, Bluebird Place, etc., since many of the streets were named after trees.

So, the alley right behind Frank's Hen House was "Swallow Place"

Thank you kindly dear boy, but it's far worse than I previously thought. I passed that way yesterday and when I saw this, I had to stop and make certain I wrote it down correctly:

TRCZIYULNY Street

Trick-zee-yule-knee, and if so, WHY???

I mean, you'd have to be, oh, I don't know, POLISH or something to keep a surname like that! LMAO
