3/4 of a mile from my house is a road called "None Such Road".

I always wondered how they get mail. Imagine telling someone you live on 1234 None Such Road. Sure mister and you are John Smith right?

My road named after the call sign of the Radio Station that's also on it.

Not funny names, but not too far from Thunder Road and the actual Brickyard Road.
And I know where the actual Corner Store is..

Growing up a friend lived on No Chicago. It was in a town of 1200 people and the street itself was 1/2 block long. I don't know why they used No instead of just N for north.

Not a street but a real park not far from my place.



Dude Chilling Park is a sign installation, originally created as a prank, which now has official public art status in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the 2300 block of Brunswick Street in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver in Guelph Park. The sign is located on the southwest corner of the park

There is a No Road in Jacksonville, one of the gun ranges I shoot at is on it.

So my friend has been living with Katie for a few years and then break up. We all know they are still sneaking around, but they act like no one knows.

Then one day he posts this picture on Facebook and writes: Looks like a fun place to visit - Dam, I hope this is private and others can't see it..........

But, we all could see it for about 20 minutes........
