Title: Beach Boys related names, streets, buildings in your town Post by: sea of tunes on July 11, 2015, 07:50:52 AM Some time ago I was driving to pick up my daughters from their daycare and noticed a street named Smiley. I must've passed that street sign hundreds of times but I never noticed it before. After that, I noticed a hotel chain not too far away from my house, Hawthorn Suites.
And finally, for the last 15 years since my wife and I married and bought the house we still reside in, my way to and from work takes me down a street named Wilson Road. So those are my examples, do you have any?

Some of which include "Audree Wilson" and "Barbara and Ann" To me, that's spooky.

Title: Re: Beach Boys related names, streets, buildings in your town Post by: Komera on July 12, 2015, 09:05:24 AM When I was a kid, there were these two intersecting streets that occasionally gave grief to people telling or hearing directions. My father once told a story of how he was almost fired for telling his boss he was at the corner of these two streets, and his boss thought he was being snarky. They've since been renamed, but I still prefer them under their old names.
This Street and That Street. Although I'm pretty sure that all of This Street was not all of That Street. ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Beach Boys related names, streets, buildings in your town Post by: The Shift on July 12, 2015, 09:17:01 AM Here in Stainforth, North Yorkshire, we have a That Lucky Old Sun Boulevard, a Surf's Up Highway, a Take A Load Off Your Feet Crescent and, bizarrely - named 50 years ago - a That's Why God Made The Radio Grove.
(actually we just have a Main Road and a Main Street within the village, but the Parish Council might rename them after the reunited Beach Boys play the village hall next summer to mark Pet Sounds' 50th anniversary) >:D Title: Re: Beach Boys related names, streets, buildings in your town Post by: Rob Dean on July 12, 2015, 11:12:19 AM Here in Stainforth, North Yorkshire, we have a That Lucky Old Sun Boulevard, a Surf's Up Highway, a Take A Load Off Your Feet Crescent and, bizarrely - named 50 years ago - a That's Why God Made The Radio Grove.

Title: Re: Beach Boys related names, streets, buildings in your town Post by: marcusb on July 12, 2015, 11:32:23 AM In the early 2000s, when I was in high school, our school districts treasurer was named Brian Wilson. The superintendent was Keith Richards. Here's a document I found that mentions both:
