Naming our road

Got a letter from the county a few days ago saying our back road had acquired enough people to require a street name ( that and according to our address we should be on the main drag, but we're not. Makes it impossible for people to find us...like the fire department, medic… ) They said that if we don't agree on a name (and pay $200! what the heck?!) within 30 days, they'll name it for us. They didn't, however, mention what they would name it. So to avoid living on Rainbow Fluff rd we're having a neighborhood meeting to give our suggestions.

I was thinking something along the lines of Cford Dr...maybe Ceeford...

or maybe Fair Ln

Busted Bowtie Rd!

I dunno. You guys got any suggestions?

A famous department store owner that lived in Dallas had a house on "NOSUCH PLACE". Always liked that name.

What's the name of the main road? Could have some fun with it. I seem to recall that in CA a few years back, the town changed the name of one street, Morning street, due to it's intersection with Wood street.
I believe that there is actually a town in Maine called Nonsuch, or Nosuch. How about Ford Way, or just a rather long name to make a large sign.

How about BFE Rd. or Runamuck Rd.
I really like the Fair Lane idea too.
How many folks are gonna be at that meeting?
Do each of you have to pay $200, or will it be split?
hows about Back Road??

Hey SAR Ranger, I saw that on a parts box from Ford-The return adress was on Front Wheel Drive
