Is This REALLY the Funniest Street Name in Iowa?
Have you ever just gone for a drive around your neighborhood to check out houses?
When I was growing up in Pennsylvania, I remember my mom taking my sister and I out for drives to look at some of the other homes in our neck of the woods. A fun rabbit hole we would fall down is trying to find the streets with the funniest or weirdest names.
While we've talked about some of the weirdest town names in the state of Iowa, we've never really tried to dig deeper to find some strange road names.

There was a list that Reader's Digest put together that listed the funniest street name in every single state.
If I'm being quite honest, some of these street names are not nearly as funny as the original author thought they were. There's a few where it's clear they are reaching a little bit.
For example, Connecticut's strange street name is Drury Lane.
Hahahahahahahaahahahaahahaahaaha!
We get it—just like the rhyme about the muffin man. But there are definitely some contenders that truly deserve a chuckle.
In Colorado, there is a road that isn't included on any maps because of just how strange it is. If you live in the town of Fountain, you might need to enter the street name, "A Dog Will Lick His Butt But Won’t Eat A Pickle Road" into your car GPS at some point.
Out east in Maine, if someone tells you that something is located "Uptha Road" they might not be pointing you to a place that's a block away. There is actually a street named "Uptha Road!"
I'm absolutely obsessed with that one!
What's The "Funniest" Street Name In Iowa?
Iowa's on the other hand, is a bit of a disappointment.
According to Reader's Digest, the funniest street name in Iowa is...Burr Oak Court.
Unlike the other road name examples, this one is more of a thinker. If you say "Burr Oak" fast enough it sounds like "Broke." Get it?
*crickets*
This street is located in Iowa City AND there's even a Burr Oak in Winneshiek County!
