In Grand Junction Colorado, they number some of the streets by how far they are from the Utah border. You see streets named like 11 7/8 or 17 1/2. I couldn't figure it out I had to ask someone at the motel.

Near my home we have a street called "Jackass Hill". When a church built on it they didn't like the name and had to petition the city to allow them to use the name of a side street instead.

South of Albuquerque we had a street named Poco Loco. Translated it means a little crazy. It was the steepest street I have ever seen outside of San Francisco.
