Then there's Forgotten Rd located on St.Hwy 137 between Big Lake and Stanton, Texas. At least, they remembered to put up a street sign.

Got an unusual road name right here in my hometown, Jackass Hill Road.

Picture 1.png

Even has some history behind the name of the road. Linky

The fun thing to try and attempt as a foolish youth was to steal the sign. I have a friend who snagged one of the many replacement signs from back in the 60's.

Now days, the sign is mounted 30 feet up on the traffic light pole. It has been also discovered, that the new sign has the bolts welded to the pole on the back side. ;)

Reklaw, TX because Walker was taken. (Walker backwards)

Paris, but in Texas.

Uncertain, TX because they didn't know what to name the town so they put "uncertain" in the blank and the form was accidentally filed before a name was chosen. :D

Gun Barrell City. TX

Flippin, AR. Have you ever been stopped by the flippin police?

A store called Rachel's Buttick in AR. Think they were meaning boutique, but not sure!

A roadside farmer's market with a sign out front... HO-MADE FUDGE :D also in AR.

And I used to live on a street named Gungywamp in CT. (Pronouced just like it's spelled)
