If you see the above sign while driving, you just know you’re in trouble.
Because, y’know, it means you’ve somehow wandered into that middle of nowhere known as Traverse City, Michigan. A town that has little upon which to hang its hat, except for first place in “TheCarConnection’s Wild, Weird, and Wacky Street Names Contest”.
I can only assume that Norman Bates’ motel lies somewhere down this Path.
10. Tater Peeler Road in Lebanon, Texas
9. The intersection of Count and Basie in Richmond, Va.
8. Shades of Death Road in Warren County, N.J.
7. Unexpected Road in Buena, N.J.
6. Bucket of Blood Street in Holbrook, Ariz.
5. The intersection of Clinton and Fidelity in Houston
4. The intersection of Lonesome and Hardup in Albany, Ga.
3. Farfrompoopen Road in Tennessee (the only road up to Constipation Ridge)
2. Divorce Court in Heather Highlands, Pa.
1. Psycho Path in Traverse City, Mich.
I wonder how many of these lanes are private roads, like the No. 1. I’d imagine the private ones are where you’d find the outlandish tags. And talk about the non-stop fun when ordering pizza delivery!
Wow – I have to assume you have never been to Traverse City which is one of the most beautiful towns in Michigan. Hardly the “middle of nowhere”, we get tourists all year long. And as far as hanging our hat, we are also known as the Cherry Capital of the World. 70% of the tart cherries in the U.S. are grown in Michigan and Traverse City is the center of the state’s cherry growing region.

The heart of cherry-growing action… Yeah, that’s something to hang your hat on. I think I’d opt for Psycho Path as a distinguishing characteristic instead.

I’m from Traverse City. We are all a bunch of psychopaths.
