That’s a pretty all-inclusive list. When I think of one, I look for it on your list and it’s there
there’s so many names here, you could make your own virtual community here. That reminds me of the days when i first played around with geocities in 1997. You would get a url like “geocities.com/SoHo/3235” and the interface to explore other websites within geocities was set up like a little community with streets. You could check out your neighbors at SoHo 3234 and SoHo 3236. It was very cute.
Literally, the interface was an illustration of a street with little houses on it.
I bet you’ve never heard of a snicket, a ginnel or an 8-foot!
oh wow! I have not heard of those, Rebecca. Thanks!
what about a cul de sac
seeing that’s a type of road, i think that is good! The only letters of the alphabet missing are: j k n q u x y z
I grew up in the point house of a cul de sac, but the road was called a “Court”
junction!
You have “route”, but how about “rural route” … abbreviated by the post office as RR followed by the number sign and then a number. Before the street was named “Currier Court”, it was called RR #8
