Where the Streets Have Funny Names

Unnamed Street: I imagine that neither the houses on this street do
have numbers. So much fun for the postman!
Slippery Cobble Street: Previously called Wet Causeway Street, it had to
be renamed in May '68 after all the cobbles (except one) had been taken off.
Lighter Way: One of the only places in town not having
any lights at night. I wonder why...1
Fool Galore Street: Just as its name suggests, it's a stupid street.2

Endnotes
