Does your neighborhood/town have a "silly street"? that is if something strange, exuberant, or baffling happens it's always there? People say "Why is it always --- street?"Walton Avenue is ours:* People will close this street with chairs for block parties all the time, or for basketball games* There are shoes on every lamp post* If you see more that two people on a bike it's on Walton * One way street... but sometimes golf carts?* There was a goat living in the park for three weeks

A famous crime, where a deli owner was pelted with avocados by an angry patron? That was on Walton ave. too.

@futurebird The epicentre for student misbehaviour in my city is one street in the "university district", Aberdeen St. It's one block long, and it's where the riots used to start every alcohol holiday (Homecoming, St Paddy's Day, May 24, etc). They don't usually rise to the level of full-on riots these days, but it's where the Nuisance Party bylaw and the mobile alcohol poisoning wards get a workout.

@silvermoon82 Walton isn't as much college kids and there is less drinking. I think it's just that it's not a through street and a lot of families with even more kids live there. And the "block party on walton" is a tradition that goes back to the 70sMore sesame street than animal house... but maybe a little of both.

@michaelgemar ... there was a video and it's kind of funny... although I've been told it's not polite to laugh because the deli owner got a nasty bruise. The media made a big deal about it... and yes we do have more horrible crime like any big city, but this was bigger news.

@futurebird @michaelgemar In my head , I'm seeing the perpetrators test squeeze each avocado before picking it up , passing over the ripe ones , to make sure it'll do damage.

@futurebird Pennington Ave in Curtis Bay, Maryland. - Intellectual dysfunction sets in like barometric pressure and weighs on you for approximately 1.3 kilometers of road.- Shoes on every telephone wire, street lamp and fence.- I once swore I saw time go backwards there in the 90s but I had also just discovered Goldschläger.- Seeing someone strapped to the roof of a moving car would not even interest anyone walking nearby.- Poe probably bought opium there.

@futurebird Baltimore’s “Miracle on 34th Street,” though only around December. Much of Baltimore qualifies as “funky”, though… does that count?
