7. I think the most unique names for roadways is here in Tucson.
In part of the city, some roads are angled at 45 degrees to the
North-South East-West alignment in the majority of the city.

The are called stravenues. Not streets or avenues, starvenues!

4. I took pictures of the sign last time I went that way.
That's officially the weirdest street name I've ever seen. And we have Star Trek themed streets in Sacramento, so my standards for weird are pretty high.

9. I wish I had taken a photo.
I did take a photo of the Cisco exit sign in Utah. But that is because my car broke down and I found the irony of the sign to be way too much...

Here it is.



No services... and since we were in the middle of nowhere, only 1 bar on my cellphone. I barely got a call through to AAA.
