Spinoff: What Street Did You Grow Up On?

[RedAngie]

No actual names, but was it a street, avenue, road, lane, terrace, etc.? Or something unusual, like Columbia Heights or Bishopsgate?

I’ve lived on a street, road, Pike, another street, avenue, and now a Lane.

Street until age 12

Road from 12 - 18

Then another Road Street again, followed by a Lane, back to the house on the Road and now an Ave.

Gravel roads in remote, northern Alberta don't have names.

I currently live on an Avenue and in a few weeks am moving to a Blvd. Over the years I've lived on several different Avenues, a Place, a Close, and a Lane.

Avenue, street, street, street.

A hollow, or as most people say where I grew up in the south, a holler.

ETA: It's was officially named a road, but no one used the road name.

Gravel roads in remote, northern Alberta don't have names.

Long sections of the Trans-Canada highway can be gravel in the summer when they are repaving to fix the winter damage.

Drive, Drive and Drive

 

[Keli]

Saint, Saint, Street, Street, Avenue, Road, Street

I lived in the country off of a county road so our address was rural route something box whatever until they implemented 911 addressing in our area and they changed it to a street

 

[mamamary]

It was a street. The streets were all mostly numbers.

Grew up on a Street
First apartment on a Drive
First house on a Lane

[amcnj]

As a child Ave, then Place. Since I have been an adult, Boulevard, Drive and Lane.

My street just had a name, The *********. Sometimes folks would add street or road, incorrectly. Now I’m on a street in the same town.
