Where the Streets Have NO Many Names

If you come for a visit to this town, don't rely on a map or on google maps or on yahoo maps or any written directions unless they have come from someone that KNOWS the town.

Why??

Because this~



Is the same road as this~


And the same road as this~

(All within 2 blocks.)

It seems as though some of our street signs may have come from the sign surplus store. They weren't able to buy the full set, but the signs match close enough for the mail to get delivered no matter how you write the address.
On one end of our road it says Street, the other end of our road says Avenue (it's all of 2 blocks long). You can write it either way, the mail will get to us just fine. Or, you can not right Street OR Avenue and the mail will still get to us.
Another street in town is Beulah, down the block it's Bulah. Another example is Rooney and the sign across the stop sign says Rodney...the same street.
Those are the quirky street signs we have noticed, there are likely more or moore or moor out there that we don't know about....but we are always on the look out!
