Marilyn Monroe- Sahara/Hollywood, I think. Audrey Hepburn is in the same condo complex.
Za Zu Pitts- Sahara/Hollywood, another condo complex
There's a lot more where those came from. They must have run out of one word street names.
We drove up to Mt. Charleston today and I had to do a U-turn and take a pic when I saw Elvis Alive Drive!

Jeez, I never noticed that. Panocha St is near DI and Eastern. It has a strange shape and only covers two blocks separated by several other streets. Somebody pulled one over on ...probably at that time ...Darwin Lamb.

When I first moved to Laredo (pop. 75000 Hispanic and 5000 non Hispanic), we had a very beautiful receptionist at the station. The boys in the production crew told me I should go to her and tell her, "Yo tiene comer tu -that word-."

I didn't speak a word of Spanish at the time, but fortunately, I had enough sense to know it would somehow be wrong.

The street across from my house is "April Showers". That may only be funny to people with their minds in the gutter...like me (Sounds like a porn stars name)

The good one is the street just south of Mtn. View Hospital.... Box Canyon

Wow, I'm not the only one who's noticed all the STUUUUUUPID street names in LV. I swear to God they must just close their eyes and randomly point to words in the dictionary and then string them together. There's no other excuse. And yes, I would consider a stupid street name to be a deal-breaker when considering a home purchase.

At first glance I had some interest in this home 1035 DODGER BLUE Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89123 | MLS# 1139684 until I realized that it was on Dodger Blue Ave. As a lifelong Giants fan, I would never hear the end of it from my friends and family.

A neighborhood in 89131 has these streets that run off of each other:

Hanky Panky St
Lovers Knot Ct
Kisses Ave
Shady Lady Ct
Wild Thing Ct

Embarrassing.

I just had to add this one to the list. I am looking at rentals in the southwest and I don't know if I'm willing to live on Liquid Loco Street.
