“Jean Baptiste Point du Sable Lake Shore Drive” located in Chicago, Illinois. The second longest street name is 34 characters long: “Northeast Kentucky Industrial Parkway” located in Greenup, Kentucky.

I was driving on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago last month and loved to hear GPS telling me about “Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable ….”. What a beautiful but name.


You raise a good point. I currently live on a street that my GPS cannot pronounce the name of. It drives me crazy. That's a much bigger deal.

Tell your family it's Hancook Road. With Zip+4 the post office will have no trouble getting your mail to you.

I know two ppl who live on a street with Hancock. Never crossed my mind that it was inappropriate.

Should we tell her how Norfolk is pronounced? You know, "Don't drink, don't smoke -- Norfolk!"

Hancock isn’t bad.

How about these real life examples?

Morning Wood Drive
Temporary Road
Backlick Road
Gallows Road
Popes Head Road

Then there are the awful themed-named streets: Barristers/Statute/Counsellor/Sheriff/Decree

Butter Churn/Conestoga/Wagon Wheel

Symphony/Cymbal/Concerto

I bet they would completely flip the F out if they saw a box of Grape Nuts on you our kitchen table. I mean they must be imagining someone’s private parts replaced with grapes to go with the image of a person’s hand on his own cock. Plus of course there are no grapes or nuts inside.

We once lived in the east Bay Area outside SF. A realtor wanted to show us a house on Happy Valley Road and I took a pass.

Usually, people are not going around asking which kind of cereal you eat pp. Nice try.

Handcock might be an issue for me.

I think there’s a Blueball Road in or near Elkton that 95 crosses.

It’s better than Butt Hollow Rd in Salem, VA.

There is an entire neighborhood in Fairfax with confederate names.

Confederate Lane in Fairfax runs into Plantation Parkway in Mosby Woods. Check out a map. Someone wanted to make a rather emphatic statement.

I went to Gayhead Elementary.

I think Hancock is fine! Your parents sound illiterate. What country are they from?

My family is Indian, by the way. Dont make it seem like all immigrants are ignorant prudes.

Now, Regina, Canada is kind of funny.

Also im sure there’s a Cocks Swallow road somewhere.
