11 MORE strange street names in NJ (Can you believe we missed these?)
A week ago, we shared some of the strangest street names we could find in New Jersey. From Weasel Drift to Wits End, we thought we had New Jersey's oddball avenues mostly covered.
But you folks let us know: Boy, were we wrong. The closer you look, the stranger New Jersey gets. A bunch of you chimed in with ways ways we'd missed on Facebook and Twitter — including one some of you really couldn't believe we'd left out.
Got a funky street name in your town? Did we still miss one? Leave it in the comments below or hit us up on Twitter at @NJ1015.
But for now, we present 11 MORE of the strangest street names in New Jersey. Have fun taunting Google Maps with these.
- 1
Sesame Street in Atco
Can you tell me how to get there?
- 2
Manlove Avenue in Hightstown
As we said of Gayboy Court last week, "Not that there's anything wrong with that" Avenue.
- 3
Goa Way in Lavallette
Well ... that's welcoming.
- 4
Proposed Avenue in Franklinville
Someday, it'll be "Approved Avenue." And then maybe even "Constructed Avenue."
- 5
Mercedes Bend in Toms River
Oh, Lord
- 6
Good Luck Road, Lacey Township
A 4 percent school tax increase and layoffs in Lacey Township? We had to say it, but it sounds like you're going to need some of that luck, Lacey.
- 7
Whalepond Road in West Long Branch
Um, wait ... where's the pond? And more importantly, where's the whale?
- 8
Hooker Street In Riverside
Because Hoes Lane was already taken.
- 9
Easy Street in Farmingdale
We've always wanted to live there
- 10
Hoes Lane in Piscataway
Left without further comment:
- 11
Shades of Death Road, Warren County
We got a really hard time from you folks for omitting Shades of Death Road on our original top-12 list. It is, after all, among New Jersey's most notorious streets — the supposedly supernatural street that's home to Ghost Lake and The Fairy Hole. People report seeing ghostly apparitions in the fog and a Native American spirit guide who appears as a deer.
Personally, we think it's all a load of hooey. But we're rubbing the Good Luck Road street sign before heading to Warren County, just in case.
