When you’re on a road trip, sometimes you have nothing better to do then read off unusual street names. At home, though, you generally just don’t have time for that. There are definitely some strange and funny street names in Columbus. Check them out.
- Kossuth Street
Can Pac Swire/Flickr Named after Lajos Kossuth, a Hungarian lawyer, Kossuth Street sits in German Village.
- Smiley Road
Kate Ter Haar/Flickr Nothing but smiles on Smiley Road, please! There’s a good chance you’re heading to Tuttle Mall if you’re passing Smiley Road, so you might indeed be smiling.
- Schirtzinger Road
GoogleMaps “I live in Schirtzinger Road.” “Could you spell that, please?” According to Urban Dictionary, a Schirtzinger is a person who shares the qualities of an angel. Pretty cool street!
- Love Drive
Oscar E./Flickr Just a short little road located in the Upper Arlington area, Love Drive is certainly a neat street name to have in the city.
- Petzinger Road
GoogleMaps Sitting a little south of I-70, this street almost sounds like a place from a Harry Potter book.
- Walhalla Road
Ryan S./Yelp Yes, the “h” is pronounced. Some people put the emphasis on the first syllable and some of the second. It’s a cool name and a cool road!
- Bobcat Avenue

- Onandaga Drive
GoogleMaps The Onondaga were a native people from New York State, but Onandaga? Who knows!
- Emerald Parkway
James H./Flickr Nothing but class and royalty on Emerald Parkway, or so it would seem.
- Cross Country Drive
