Have you ever drove or walked past a street sign and thought to yourself “WHAT?!” or “WHO CAME UP WITH THAT NAME?!” You’re not alone. Indiana is home to a lot of weird, crazy, funny, and even creepy street names. I’ve spent a while digging through Google Maps and compiled a list of 12 really crazy street names in Indiana!

1. Harry Baals Drive

Yes, that is pronounced how you think it is pronounced. Harry Baals Drive is actually named after a former mayor of Fort Wayne.
2. Around The Hills Road
Google Maps
This street is also in Indianapolis, looking at an earth view on Google Maps… I don’t see any hills around the road. Do you?
3. Life Road
Google Maps
Life Road is in Peru, Indiana. Who knows what is waiting for you on Life Road?
4. Stoner Drive
Google Maps
I think this one speaks for itself… I imagine a very relaxed group of individuals live on Stoner Drive (which is located in Anderson, if you're curious).
5. Bourbon Street
Google Maps
From what I can tell there are a couple Bourbon Streets in Indiana. Not sure what that says about the Hoosier state…
6. Bacon Street
Google Maps
Anyone want to live on Bacon Street?! It's also in Indianapolis.

8. Santa Lane, Rudolph Blvd, Frosty Lane
Google Maps
The truth is – I could go on for a while listing fun street names in Santa Claus, Indiana. Are you really that surprised?
9. Haag Drive
Google Maps
Haag Drive is located in Montgomery. I’m wondering what kind of women live on this street…
10. Home Street
Google Maps
Home Street is in Huntington. I feel like it could be the start of a really bad (or really funny) joke.
11. Shadybrook Drive
Google Maps
Could you imagine someone telling you to meet them at Shadybrook Drive? No thank you… This is in Fort Wayne if you're wondering.
12. Antelope Boulevard, Antelope Circle, Antelope Court, Antelope Drive, and Antelope Lane
Google Maps
So, these are all clustered in the same part of Indianapolis. All I can say is someone really liked Antelope and wanted to cover all their bases…. What do you think?
