Fishback Lane
Gypsy Ridge Road
Possum Hollow Road (saved the best for last)


Anyone else got any street names like that to share?

I grew up in a redneck town called Aynor and all of the above things could also work for Aynor. We have an annual festival called a Hoedown...Everyone always get a crack out of that. Growing up I was involved in lots of beauty pageants and in the hoedown pageant you had to go barefooted....it's so funny!
