Some street names are common from city to city or town to town: Broadway, Front Street, Main Street, Dr. Martin Luther King Drive/Boulevard, etc.

But then you have street names that you don't see beyond your own town or don't see very often. And then you have the names that, while they may seem common, just sound cool or funny.

You know the drill...post away.
