This blog post is inspired from the time I was living in Melbourne for a year. The year was 2009, having spent my past 20 years living in the small confines of Oaklands, I decided to break my comfort zone and move out of home. The first few weeks there was scary, I didn't know the area at all, and everybody was either a rapist, murder or a gangland icon. Then one fateful Thursday, while going for a jog down Waterdale Rd, I noticed a street sign. This street sign changed my life, and the weird thing was, it was the next street down from mine. I read the sign, and was like 'oh, ok' and then went to continue jogging, and I was like, "Wait, what did that say?" I looked back up, and sure enough, it was real. To me, this is the greatest street name in the history of street names, my dream is to own a house on this street.
The street sign read, Bonar St!
The street sign read, Bonar St!
For proof it exists!
My life has never been the same since, in a good way. This has been the key foundation of a lot of jokes with my near-best friend from Melbourne, who actually lived on the corner of Bonar (hehe) St. So right now I am going to do some google mapping to find other funny, dirty street names.
As the kids of today say, brb
Dick St, Wodonga, VIC
Pussy Willow Court, Boulder, CO, United States
Boner St, Newark, OH, United States (I know we already have a Boner sounding street, but this is spelt differently)
Woolcock Ave, Kew East, VIC
Fanny St, Monnee Ponds, VIC
They are dirty sounding ones, now I am just going to browse the world for some unusual and weird ones
Anthony Street, Melbourne, VIC
Fuk Man Rd, Sai Kung, Hong Kong
Poo Parade, Wanganella, NSW
Awesome Again Lane, Aurora, Ontario, Canada
That is enough for now, some interesting streets I discovered. Well folks, stay tuned.
