"Pig Turd Alley"Upgrade that to "Porcine Defication Boulevard" and you've improved everyone's property value tenfold!

Yep, which is why a portion of West Windsor is named "Princeton Junction"...Actually, there's a legitimate reason for that. A spur line off what used to be the Pennsylvania Railroad runs from there into Princeton, itself. A shuttle train called "The Dinky" still operates on that route.

In 1716, land was sold by Connecticut to 16 persons, including Jonathan Belcher,
later Royal Governor of Massachusetts, 1730-41. Washington did not belch here. .

Not, “The Most Reverend, Holiness, Black-Beyond-Belief Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, Jr?”

It could be worse. I grew up in a small berg in Central New York. Off of the main road were about a dozen numbered Avenues. They were numbered not in physical order but in the order that they were created. (i.e., 5th Ave between 1st and 2nd, etc.). The locals have no problem with this but outsiders are frustrated to no end.

Hey. I’ve seen that road too. ;)

Actually,after I posted this I learned that they had changed the name back to Pig Turd Alley. It now appears on the rolls and in ads in the paper. People wanted the historical name and they got it. This is a slap in the face of PC!:)

I find 3 ‘Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, Jr’ in the United States.
There are over 300 ‘Martin Luther King Blvd’ in the United States. The few of which I been on are in the slum part of towns.

And let's not forget the famous
Faust Hotel in New Braunfels. Nice place, but I'm not signing their register!

There’s a Purgatory Rd. crossing Rt. 146 in MA. You take it to get to Purgatory Chasm.

How about Lovers Lane, a major street in Visalia, Calif., or Memory Lane in Santa Ana, Calif.? Lovers Lane is a major thorofare in Dallas, TX. But it doesn't go to Love Field.
Instead, it's a mile north of the quaintly-named Mockingbird Lane -- another major thorofare.

Speaking of Faust, how about the
Fausthaus in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, where the real Faust once resided?
