I passed through Intercourse, PA, years ago and noted the "Intercourse Motel".
When I was away on vacation one year, I looked on a road map of the state, searching for street or town names of my family or friends. I would then drive there and take a picture of the street sign. Now that I see it in print, it sounds kind of silly, but you get to see new territory, and you have a picture for friends or family.
In San Jose CA you can stand at the corner of Mona and Lisa. The old Storage Tek headquarters in Louisville CO was at the corner of Disk Drive and Tape Drive.
How about Fanny Hands Lane
There's Hell, Michigan, and my favorite of all time, in Idaho, south of Nampa, there's Chicken Dinner Road.
In nearby Woodland, Ca, there`s Dead Cat Alley.

In Los Angeles, we have Moorpark Street. Not too interesting until you read it backwards.

Spanish names are more polite. In Santa Barbara the street named "Indio Muerto" means dead indian.
