When you are out driving around showing houses do you ever get a question from a buyer that throws you for a bit of a loop? Not the usual ones about traffic or the ones that we can't answer about schools or crime but the one about who came up with that street name?
Usually we are so familiar with an area that we can come up with a story or explanation. Roads named after historic figures, unusual landmarks or the developers family, etc. Occasionally though there is one that catches their eye that even you can't come up with an explanation for. This weekend while showing some out of town buyers around the area we came upon such a road. Now as a native of the Northern Virginia area I often pass by roads and never give them a second thought. This is one of those roads. But when they asked the question I couldn't come up with an answer.
For everyone else what strange road names in your community give your buyers pause? I'm sure there are some that are real doozie's that you can share with the rest of the AR world.
