Do you live in one of those towns or cities where the street names make absolutely no sense? Yeah, me too, but I think my city takes the prize.
Just yesterday I was sitting at my desk working when a resume was handed to me.
I noted the name.
I reviewed the qualifications.
I looked to see where the candidate lives.
I noted the address.
Huh?
This person lives at 869

Oh how true.. I love it! Glad I am not the only one who feels that way! How funny.
No wonder we stay lost in your town! This takes away the guilt.
It’s not just in FL that things like that happen. Nearby Wausaukee WI has a “South Road.” As you travel on it, you realize that it goes every direction BUT south!
And speaking of the bars. I love the name of the bar in Middle Inlet, WI. It is “I Don’t Know.” I have to use that in a western novel. Can’t you just see the guy staggering in in the morning. His wife asks, “Where were you all night?” “I don’t know.” “Where is that?” “I don’t know.” etc.

There is a traffic circle in the next town over – they call it a “traffic” circle for a reason – you should see the back up!
Oh, and we have a road that is cut in half by a neighborhood. It goes to a certain point and then disappears, only to pick back up about 1/2 mile away!
Come to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We don’t have a straight road in this town! My address is 225 31St Dr. Se, but if that Dr is missing, mail and packages go to 225 31st St. NE. The two halves of town don’t match either. Cross the river and every street is off by at least half a block. The government was smart, they put the government offices on the island as well as the jail. That was all well and good until the 500 year flood in 2008. Every bridge was out of sight and only the tops of the government buildings could be seen. But, we didn’t get hollywood to put on a benefit. We did the work ourselves.
Anyway, thanks to that flood, west side sewing is now on the east side (same name though). Come north for the winter, it’s warm here and no snow so far.
It is!! It’s a plot!! We’re all going to have to learn fractions. AHHHHHHH!!!!!
fun-nay!!
Hahahaha – you should see what I have to write when they ask me for a physical address, and you know the little line just isn’t long enough for all of it. One good thing, I don’t use fractions, but I’m thinking I’m glad I don’t live in your city. haha
I didn’t know Florida was even that big.
Hey,Us HWY one goes through Rockingham on it’s way to Key West. would Hwy 1-1/2 get me over to your place?
So funny, Wanda. Love the comments as well. So glad to know I’m not alone in dealing with crazy street names and streets that go the wrong way.
