- CatMustard 6mo agoOr "The Wrong Street". Would make for fun GPS instructions. "In one hundred metres take a left turn onto The Wrong Street".
- fallinghawks 6mo agoI suspect many towns have "A Street" which has always given me a giggle. In the Bay Area, Hayward has a sign for A Street Downtown. Downtown is on the 2nd line but could be misparsed as desired.
