How perfectly ghastly!
One is more used to having streets named after one than living in streets named after somebody (or something) else.
One would sooner live in a tent than live in a common street. Streets are tenanted by paupers and n’er-do-wells and they are the haunts of footpads and cutthroats.
Ugh! Streets, indeed.
Yours sincerely,
Baron F’Ken Angry, The Baronry, High-on-the-Hill, England.

Mine – like all of the new streets in our town – is named for one of the pilots from the former WWII airfield nearby who gave his life during the Battle of Britain…
In the 1950s, the town council voted that ‘The Few’ would be remembered for as long as the town remained. Quite touching, really.

My street is nothing compared to the one near by. It was Goethe, which no one can pronounce.. So, “spiritually speaking,” when the city had it brought to their attention, during their morning meeting at Starbucks, about his sordid past, his dishonorable view points, it was back to city hall for a few quick votes to rename both street and the county picnic park by the river.
(.it was all renamed, this part is true., not sure if they all drink Starbucks)

I live on Dodding Avenue – named after some of the so-called “founding fathers” of my area. Never mind that native people have lived here since what-ever-that-was..before recorded history.
The present Doddings are a mixed weird bag of fundamentalist Christians, drug addicts, undiagnosed manic depressives, and all-round drunken red necks and ignorant bullies …

I live on Treelodge Pkwy….it’s like driving into the forest, so I guess that makes sense.
I’m a newbie to Georgia. I’d say that 40% of the street names have the word “peach” in them. I’ve yet to eat a Georgia peach however, and the grocery store only seems to sell California peaches (which is where I just moved to Georgia from). Sorry, a bit off topic.

My street isn’t named after anyone in particular. It is just a pleasant sounding name, like “Shady Hollow” or some such. My town is named after a former mayor of Chicago who was also a bigwig in the Union Pacific Railroad.

My street (Nansen) is named after Norwegian Arctic explorer Nansen (my street is named after him). And I live in Australia.

St. Martin Cove….
It just HAD to be religious.
Why couldn’t it be neutral, like Maple or something?

I’m not entirely sure but it might be named after this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Wiggi…
Otherwise I have no idea.

At home, it’s a bird. All the streets in my subdivision are named after birds. At school, it’s just College Ave. Very boring.

It’s a Gaelic-ish description of what used to be here, despite the fact that this isn’t a Gaelic speaking part of Scotland.
