Dirty Signs: The World’s 150 Most Unfortunately Named Streets, Towns and Places by Rob Bailey, Ed Hurst
My rating: 4/5 cats
i swear, they should rename that ground-floor table “books that are stupid but make karen laugh.” because it doesn’t take much. just knowing there is a town called “penistone” makes me grin a little. then i see a street named “knob lick” and the grin gets a little wider. “horton cum studley” is too ridiculous for me to laugh at but then…then…”rampant horse street.” why??? why did i have to grow up on “railroad street” and “sunset drive”?? how prosaic. someday i shall live on “hussey’s lane” and make up for lost time…
