Have you ever been to 123 Fake Street?

[yukichigai]

If anybody here is a Simpsons fan -- and I think most of you are -- you may remember the comedic bit revolving around 123 Fake Street from a particular episode of the show. Well I dunno why, but I suddenly had a desire to find a real life 123 Fake Street. Only problem is Mapquest and Yahoo! Maps won't let you search by address alone. There's no way I'm going to check for the address in every single city, so I'm wondering if any of you ATers out there have a Fake Street in your home town, and if so if you know what's at 123 Fake Street.

Post Mapquest or Yahoo! Maps links if you can.

We have an Elm St in Ann Arbor...no big deal.

I'd love to find 123 Fake St though

I think the Nightmare on Elm Street movies were named as such because of some survey listing "Elm Street" as the Xth most common suburban street name. Something like that.

I've never seen a real-life "Fake Street", but I've seen some funny street names over the years.

The famous "Zzyzzx" road off of I-15 in Nevada on the way to Vegas

A street called "Gay Rio Drive" near my house.

A street called "Stoner Avenue" in Akron, Ohio.

Of course it's fake....it's a consultant company. Do you think they actually have a building?

There's a "Manlove Road" here in Sacramento.

But it isn't the gay section of town, is it? Probably has churches and stuff on it. Which is funnier somehow.

Heh. I got a business-related email from a guy with the last name of "Manlove" once. I can only imagine the crap he got as a kid.

No, Microsoft Streets & Trips allows you too look up street names all over the country.

I just typed in "fake" and it came up with those.
