There used to be a Gropecunt Lane in London. That was changed a long time ago. Now it looks like some reincarnated Welsh Victorians want to sterilize anything that might make someone smile.

There's actually a Hershey Highway in the US: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hershey+Hwy,+Attica,+KS+67009/@37.241781,-98.2266294,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x87a56ecbe24e1427:0xe00aa6856b358f18?hl=en

When I was a little kid there was a neighborhood with tree themes as the road names. One of the bus stops was on 'morning wood.'  I was too young to get it at the time

I lived in this 'New Town' called Milton Keynes in the UK (plastic and boring as fuck)

And every area had a 'Theme' and mine was Cricket so street names all related to cricket and it was just random

There was also an area there called Stacey Bushes, Walnut Tree and Gayhurst
