There are a number of likely apocryphal stories about it, but early in the city's history a survey got done that included the designation NO ROAD in one area where there was just a dirt path and some houses, and now Jacksonville Florida has an actual street called NOROAD, one word. Not "No Road" or "Noroad rd" just "NOROAD" It even has a street sign now.

Plymouth, Massachusetts has Cherry St, West Cherry St, the improbably-named Off Cherry St, which is indeed off of Cherry St, and Cherry Street Court. Not Cherry Court, Cherry Street Court.

Not Cherry Court, Cherry Street Court. I live in east Pennsylvania and the further east you go the more hosed up the town names are. Blue Balls and Intercourse are like 15 mins away from each other

Blue Ball (just the one), Intercourse, Bird in Hand, Paradise, King of Prussia, Mount Joy, Smoketown, Gap. US Route 30, highway of weird-rear end town names. There's also a Blue Bell (again just the one) a bit closer to Philly, so that must be fun for the post office.

Hong Kong has an Elm Street. It’s one block long in Tai Kok Tsui. As a former British colony, that’s probably cheating.

One time I was driving down the actual elm street the movie was named for and I woke my partner up to let them know because I thought it was a fun fact but in retrospect they probably thought I was waking them up just to be safe.

'Let's be 'avin' you' is a thing that old-fashioned English police are supposed to have said to ne'er-do-wells, scofflaws and other shady characters -It means something like, 'stop what you're doing and come out of there'. It's the same sort of vintage as 'allo, 'allo, 'allo!
