If you’re not a bird lover, you might raise an eyebrow if someone tells you to turn on Bobolink Drive in Florissant or in Ozark, Missouri. On the other hand, if you love birds, you already know what a bobolink is and looks like.

Doesn’t the thought of candle wax make you think of a birthday cake right after you’ve blown out the candles? Candlewax Drive in Mehlville is just one charmingly-named road that’s flanked by Candleglow Road, Flame Court, and Mellowlight Drive.
