Street Names
Sometimes we come across unusual street names as we’re packing orders. (No, I’m not going to mention any. You might live on one and think that there is absolutely nothing unusual at all 
about it.) We have fun seeing where everyone lives and seeing if your street name “goes with” your city and state. Some do, and some …. well, you just have to wonder. We have street names here at Loopy Central, too, complete with signs so that in-person shoppers can find the section they’re looking for. Here we have Lace Lane, Roving Row, Worsted Way, and Pattern Place. Not only do the in-store shoppers use them, but they are useful to us, too. Before we expanded last summer, you pretty 
much knew where anyone was at any given time, because …. well, they were right there. Now, it’s not uncommon to hear someone say, “I’ll be back in Roving Row if you need me” because Roving Row is all the way back there by the Wall of Cascade. And that’s a far bit away from the front room. You’re welcome to come play in the streets here any time!
I tried a new crockpot recipe this week (adapted from a Betty Crocker slow cooker recipe) and it smelled great when I walked in the door after my day at Loopy. Better yet, it tastes wonderful, too. I love crockpot recipes at all times of the year, but it’s especially nice in the summer when you really don’t want to heat up the whole kitchen. (I could not get a good photo of this to save my life. I took 12 and this was the “best” one. Sad, isn’t it? Sorry for the blur. But it does taste good!)
Hoisin Pork Roast
3 lbs. pork roast
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup Hoisin sauce
2/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tsp. ground ginger (or 2 Tbl. grated gingerroot)
4 tsp. sesame oil
fresh cilantro leaves, if desired
Place roast in slow cooker. Cover with onion slices. Mix remaining ingredients except cilantro, and pour over roast and onions.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or until done.
Remove roast to serving platter. Skim fat from surface of juices in cooker. Serve ribs with sauce and sprinkle with cilantro.
Have a great weekend and I’ll be back with you on Monday. In the meantime, do you have any unusual street or city names that you have come across?

No unusual street names, but seeing the pictures of your shop makes me realize that I need to get there in person sometime. I’m so close (metro east) but yet so far away. And I know you have limited in-person shopping hours, so it’d have to be an afternoon off for me. Those are rare. However, I would love to come browse your street names sometime! Perhaps, one afternoon, I’ll develop a “migraine” and have to go home immediately! And then detour to your location before going home and lying down to nurse the headache (or lying down rolling in my new yarn and debating on what to cast on first! I have no restraint).

Ahhh! Hot and sticky in Davenport, Iowa too! Your recipe looks like one I’ll have to try, minus the cilantro that is. Being a map lover, I really enjoy the way you’ve “mapped out” Loopy Central. Perfect! When I lived in San Diego 35 years ago, I remember coming across a street named Haveteur Way. I didn’t live any where near that street, but the name’s stuck with me all these years!

Here in Billings, MT, one of the main thoroughfares is named Monad after some railroad mogul that founded the town. But to my son and me it conjures up other associations which make us laugh every time we drive it.

PA is chock-full of strange town names. Paradise, Bird in Hand, Blue Ball, Virginville, and my personal fave, Intercourse.
My home state also boasts many Biblical names, like Emmaus, Nazareth, Bethlehem…. We have unusual Indian town names, too, which many people struggle to pronounce: Tamaqua, Conshohocken, etc. One town was even re-named from Mauch Chunk (sp?) to Jim Thorpe. I miss my home state!

I believe Seattle has moved east and is now located in RI because it seems like all it does is rain – which they have forecast till Thursday now – oh joy! Here we have a lot of Indian names for streets which makes for fun for the tourists and visitors who do try and it isn’t always easy – even for some of us sort of locals. Examples Quonochontaug, Misquamicut, Usquepaug for some on the catchier ones.

I grew up on the corner of Doxtator. I always thought that was a weird one. My mom thinks my current county, Sangamon, is one of the funniest names she’s ever heard, but most of our streets are pretty normal here.
I would like to point out that Ann Arbor, MI, has 1st through 5th Street, AND 4th and 5th Avenue (but no 1st through 3rd Avenue). Everyone finds that pretty confusing.

I think Chattanooga has streets named after all of the Ivy League colleges, which I think is really funny… ie. Dartmouth, Harvard, etc. It’s in the “up-and-coming” neighborhood, too. But I think my favorite is Tremont (pronounced tree-mont)- it has a TON of trees so I guess it fits!

The oddest one I have come across is Tippacanoe road, and I have lived in quite a few states to compare. Tippacanoe road is a well known stretch in both Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Thanks for the crockpot recipe! I can Always use those.

Hot & humid in Des Moines too! My favorite street name that I lived on was “Strawberry Way.” Of course I had to plants strawberries:-) That was a suburb of STL. There are so many subdivisions in greater STL that have their own little street names. Many of them have themes pertaining to the name of the subdivision.

The main artery streets in Tulsa are named after cities in the United States. It is very nicely organized and once you know that any street named after a city east of the Mississippi is found east of the Arkansas River (in Tulsa) and any street named after a city west of the Mississippi is found west of the Arkansas River…it makes navigating Tulsa much easier. I moved to the OKC area from Tulsa in 2000. So imagine my surprise when I’d hear about an accident on such n such highway right off XXX Road. lol XXX to me means either alcohol or porn. Hmmm…maybe I need to ask a lifelong OKC’er how that road got the name. There is probably a great story behind it. I also blink twice when I see Tulsa Street in OKC. lol Two days ago I was laughing to myself about a client we have here at work who is based in San Diego but their street name is very Cape Cod’ish…..lol

Well, there is a street name up north of us in Peeples Valley, which we have to take to get to the cabin – Unknown Mexican Way. The first time I saw it I almost fell out of the truck. It’s about 1.5 hours north of Phoenix – up in the middle of nowhere.
The receipe sounds great – I love slow cooking!!! We’ll have to try it out this week.

We have a road called Cheese Spring, which I could never fathom…here in my town we also have numerous roads (the aforementioned included) that just change names half way through for no apparent reason…very confusing since they are often long and windy as well!

I like the Loopy street names! Here in my little town of Manassas Park, VA, there is the older side of town and the newer side of town – 1950s and 1990s! On the new side of town is one section with first-name streets, Michael, Stephanie, etc., including a Jan and a Steve (my husband’s name). On our side of town, the funniest thing is Mace Street, Mace Circle and Mace Court, all connected.

Molly’s post reminded me that here in Northern Virginia generally, street names and highway names can change almost anywhere – you continue on the road, but its name may change multiple times! Some of that is due to new length added to the existing road, or crossing a county line or some such.
Also, my street is Kent Drive. It used to start at the main drag, Manassas Drive, loop around and cross Manassas Drive several blocks down, and then stop some way past that. When they put in the original firehouse/police station, they plonked it down right on one side of the loop. So now there are 2 disconnected streets named Kent Drive, each of which starts at Manassas Drive. Those directions are always fun! (’I went to Kent Drive, and your number doesn’t exist.’ ‘That’s because you aren’t on the RIGHT Kent Drive. Come back out to Manassas Drive, turn ….’)

Muggy, rainy, and damp in the North East. Ahhhhh Street names. As a young girl my family had a summer house in an area called the point. Before getting to the point there was a street leading to Kingston Shores and the name of the street was leigh road. Well the girls from the point and the girls from Kingston Shores didn’t like each other (not enough boys to go around) and you know how vicious girls can be. Imagine my fathers surprise coming back from church one sunday morning with the whole family in tow when there in front of us was the street sign Kingston hores, Leigh Road. Someone had covered the S on the Shores. I thought my poor father would go off the road. My sister and I on the other hand laughed senselessly in the back seat. Oh to be able to stay out late enough to see that happen.

My husband grew up on a dairy farm in upstate New York. The road that ran parallel to his was Boner Road. I laughed so hard at that one the first time I saw it because I still have the maturity level of a 12 year old.
The street we live on now is the name of a common type of wine. No one ever pronounces it correctly. Ever.

We used to live on Gungywamp Road in Groton, CT. And yes, you have my permission to laugh loudly and freely. =D Now we live on plain ol’ Fir street. Still get to crack up when folks address stuff to us on “Fur” street. =P~
Love seeing the store!

I used to live near Wynot street, and I always had to say, “Because” as I walked by. It’s not really an unusual name, but it tickled my funny bone.
I love my tiny little crockpot, but it isn’t really big enough for a lot of dinner cooking. The temperatures haven’t been that high in my neighborhood, so the oven and stovetop are getting near daily usage.
Jen said,

I grew up in Saskatchewan Canada, where it’s like ‘GROUND ZERO’ for weird town names. There’s “Biggar” (who’s town motto is “New York is Big, but this is Biggar”), “Tiny” (population=6), “Craik” (who’s town motto it “the friendliest town built by a damn”), and “Climax” (I’m not making this up). Can you imagine telling someone you grew up in Climax Sask?
Not to mention that you pronounce Regina, (capital city of Saskatchewan) “REE-JINE-AH”- and yes, it does rhyme with that body part. I love saying it around non-Canadians, they always do a double take and say “what did you just say?” Lets just say the name pronunciation and it’s rhyming part is not lost on the less than mature.

My current neighborhood has some fun-sounding street names, like Upsal and Tulpehocken, but the one I like best is one out by where I take one of my cats for his monthly claw trim: Ann Street. My husband Josh’s favorite is “Joshua Road” — we’re still looking for streets named for our parents and for an Edgar or Hawthorne Street (for the cats).
Yo’ve completely got me with this latest recipe: pork, onions, rice wine vinegar AND Hoisin sauce are among my favorite savory ingredients. Plus ginger and sesame oil? I’m on my way over!

Hi Sheri! I’ve been trying so hard to get by Loopy Central to say hi and do a little retail therapy. The boys just left for 7 days of sailing around the Bahamas with their scout troop and this weekend I’ll be at another swim meet. FPS!
I love the Hoisin Pork recipe too. We shred the left over pork and make quesadillas. I use queso cheese and a bit of cheyenne when making the quesalillas and they are yummy!
Have a great weekend. Stay cool!
Lou said,
June 19, 2009 @ 1:53 pm
OMG, that Hoisin Pork sounds awesome!! My DH and I are rather fond of Vietnamese food and especially Hoisin sauce, so I will be trying that recipe for sure. Plus, I love the ease of crock pot cooking too.
I work in Direct Mail so I see strange street and people names quite often — my all-time favorite is “The Harry Wolfe Family.” That one still makes me giggle. Now, why would a parent name a child “Harry” or “Harold” if their last name was Wolfe??
Bonnie H. said,
June 19, 2009 @ 2:23 pm
The law office I work in is on Twohig Avenue — the “h” is silent so it is pronounced “2-ig”.
Before we had the internet and I ordered from catalogs by telephone we were living in the Texas panhandle town of Pampa. Ordering on the phone was a little arduous: I had to spell my last name (h-e-r-r-m-a-n-n), the street we lived on (b-e-e-c-h) and the city name (p-as in Paul-a-m-p-a).
I love the crockpot all times of the year, too. I’ve even tried making my baked potatoes in it, but have reverted back to the microwave for those. My most frequent crockpot creations are beef stroganoff and mushroom meatballs.
Have a great weekend!

Working as a nurse, my worklife is steeped in abbreviations. I always pass this one lane that is called MAE lane. I’m sure it’s named after some nice lady, but all I see is MAE = moves all extremitites. It drives me crazy all the time!
Here’s to a good weekend, and one where I’m not working, but will have at least 8 hours of knitting time in the car.

When I lived in Long Island, NY there was one that always made me smile…. Bread & Cheese Hollow Road in the town of Northport, NY. It’s all tucked away in the woods, but one of the main roads through this town. The houses on it are all huge & gorgeous… but I think I like the name most of all =)
Have a good weekend

If I remember correctly, Gungywmp road was in base housing, wasn’t it?
The west side of Jacksonville Fl has Noroad. I’m not sure whether it is Noroad St or Noroad Rd.
I lived on Menoher Blvd growing up. The street name is pronounch Ma-knock-er or sometimes Men-knock-er.
I’ll have to give the pot roast recipe to one of my sons. They do all of the cooking. It sounds delicious.

I run across strange street names all the time, too, but can’t remember any. Though I will surely pass them on to you if I remember them later….
Your poor pork roast pictures! Before I read the whole thing, I looked at it and thought they were apple turnovers!
But the recipe sounds great! I do my basic pork roast in the crockpot all the time. I’ll have to give this one a whirl! Have a great weekend, everyone!

No interesting street names but I think it’s funny/odd that all four places I’ve lived since being married, the street address all have had four digits and start with 12. (sometimes they get tangled up in my brain, too!!) 1201, 1245, 1209, and 1225!!

In a town I used to live in, there was a subdivision called Camelot. Some of the street names there were what you’d expect — Lancelot, Excalibur, Guenivere.
And then there was Pentolope.
The story is that it was supposed to be Penelope, but someone misspelled it….
Joannah said,
June 19, 2009 @ 8:02 pm
The “street” I live on might be called Wilson Way. Or maybe it’s Wilson Road? I’ve heard neighbors call it both. It’s a dirt road that sometimes has a handmade sign with one or the other name stuck out where you turn off the main road. Lately, there’s no sign at all so the directions are “when you pass Pelham Hill, go past two telephone poles on the right then turn right onto the dirt track.”
Jocelyn said,
June 19, 2009 @ 8:45 pm
Mmm… That recipe looks great! I don’t have too many funny street names, but I did have a friend once from Floyd’s Knobs, Indiana. I always liked that one. But the best directions I ever got were from someone I was working with way out in the country once, who told me to drive until I got to the third dirt road (and not to confuse the dirt roads with the dirt driveways), and then to go until I came to the house with the most junked cars. Heh.

finally started to warm up late this afternoon in Western PA. We’ve had two days of rain, so its been chilly here! Today it cleared up and the sun came out
I can only think of my parent’s driveway, they had to name it so they came up with Bracken Brae Drive. Its Scottish (I think) and means something like long and bumpy road. Which totally describes their driveway!

Connecticut has some interesting street names – many I discovered while helping my parents maintain a large mailing list many years ago. Roast Meat Hill Rd. was one that we always chuckled over, and many years later I actually drove down this very rural country road while exploring one Sunday afternoon.
Pork roast recipe is going into our crockpot for dinner tomorrow – thanks !

We lived on South St in Rocky Comfort until just recently and now we llive on Clement Rd (named for the family who originally settled the 220 acres my family lives on). My favorite Road name howver has to be ShiffeNdecker in Joplin Mo. The reason I capitalizd the N is the fact that is is comonly pronounced “ShiffeRdecker” for some virtually unknowm reason by old and new residents as well as visitors.

The maple tree is to the east suburbs of Louisville what the peach tree is to Atlanta (and if you can add a “spring” or “hurst” or “grove” to it somehow, even better!). However, I’m always amazed that the streets around Churchill Downs are named “normal” street names, rather than for Kentucky Derby winners. You have to go to Lexington for that.
When we were in college in Cambridge, DH and I lived on Linnaean Street which was always fun to spell over the phone…
Although I dimly remember Gungywamp from my Navy brat childhood, we lived on the less-exciting-sounding Barry Drive (off base in nearby Gales Ferry). I really miss Connecticut in the fall when the leaves are so gorgeous!

I actually live on a sort of odd street – Purple Finch Road. Whenever I give my address, people pause a minute to figure out if that’s what I really said. I like it though! All the streets in my neighborhood are named after birds, but I think Purple Finch is one of the more fairy tale-esque sounding streets …

must try this, but my crock pot died 10 yrs ago. I don’t work at the moment(well 3dogs and 1 kat IS work, LOL

I live in “Winner” South Dakota…………….yes, that Winner that has been in the news lately about the Power Ball winner. And we have a street called Short Street…….it has one house on it. Most of the streets in our town are either numbered as in 10th St or 1st st. or named after presidents.

I think that I would like to come and live at Loopy Central- it looks awesome!
I might have one of those weird dtreet names- blackfoot road. People always ask me to repeat myself. I know someone who lives on Diane Lane, but she is not called Diane.

There is a neighborhood here that has fairy tale names: Cinderella Lane, Pinocchio, Snow White, Aladdin, etc. My favorite is Dwarfs Circle. We also have Adjective Circle and Algebra Lane and even Star Trek Lane.

I used to live on Lisa Lane. No, it was not named after me, but everybody asked. I used to tell people I changed my name when I moved there, just so I wouldn’t forget where I lived.

We live on Charles Crawford Dr. and we always wondered who it was named after. I work at the polls on election day and a few years ago, in he came!

My boyfriend took me on a tour of his old neighborhood the last time we went to visit his family. During his high school years he lived by a Butts Rd and the school that his little sister attended at the time was Butts Road Primary. I had the longest laughing fit over that one.
