Here is something that could be a fun thread. In the town where i live there is a street called "Argus Dr." anybody else have HP street names or businesses, whatever, just something that is the name, character or place in HP?

My friend used to live on 'Sherm Grange', sounds a bit like 'Hermione Granger'.

Part from that, none that I can think of.

Although there is a shop called 'Christopher's Kitchens'. Scared me when I saw my name in huge letters.

Saw something on yahoo the other day- non HP, but in England there's a street called 'Butt Hole Lane'. Caused one couple to move- too many kids taking pictures next to the sign with bare bottoms.

Kitch, that is sceary. Mostly because their is a bar and returaunt down the street from me with my name (coincedently your name also). "Christopher's". No last name though. If it was the same as yours I think I'd ask if you were sure you lived over seas from me, but since it isn't I'll buy the coincedence.

Street names. Hmm. I never actually noticed any. But, I did notice that in the city I used to live, their is a Belmont St, Belmont Ct, Belmont Dr., and a Belmont Ln. That must really screw with all the rookies in the post office or police stations. Worst part is that they were all off of Belmont St. lol!

We have many of our roads named after Indian things. I can't think of any HP streets we have, but we DO have a "Shaganappi Trail" that always makes our British relatives laugh.

I can confirm the butt hole lane story. It is in a place called doncaster in the UK. I have seen it...maybe there is more than one. Not surprised they moved imagine having to read your address out to people.

We have a potter's way and an arthur street and a neville steet and neville terrace. Not very exciting though are they.

We have a Flander's Ave and a Simpson's street if that counts!

I can't think of any HP-related STREET names, but I believe there is a King's Cross Pub and Bar downtown somewhere. I really want to walk in there and run into a wall just for fun to see if I go through.

Hey! Here I was watching 'Have I Got News For You' and the story about Butt Hole Lane popped up!

Someone asked if it was a cul-de-sac :P
