Here Are 8 Crazy Street Names In New Mexico That Will Leave You Baffled
New Mexico has plenty of strange town names like House and Angel Fire. The unusual naming trend also extends to streets. It seems boring to live on Main Street or Washington Street, when you could have an address on Bathtub Row. Check out these eight unique street names in New Mexico.
During WWII, the town of Los Alamos was constructed in secret and at a rapid pace. This street got its name because the houses there were the only ones equipped with bathtubs!
I'm sure the town planners were just referring to semiacquatic rodents.
Seriously, who named the streets in Rio Rancho?
In case you were wondering how high the town of Weed is, it's 7074 feet above sea level. Presumably the same is true of this road!
Apparently, plenty of people like to visit Memory Lane because Tijeras isn't the only town with this street in the U.S. In fact, this picture depicts the Memory Lane in Arizona - apparently no one has snapped a picture of New Mexico's Memory Lane yet! Fancy taking a walk down it?
The crime rate on this street is probably really low. After all, who wants to be the person who steals from Jesus?
BNSF trains pass through New Mexico and this graffiti makes you wonder whether Big Foot ambled down from Cloudcroft for a little recreational tagging.
Perhaps Sin Street was already taken.
What’s the weirdest or most amusing street name you’ve spotted in New Mexico?
