Pittsburgh and its surrounding communities sure do have a ton of personality. From a shiny flying saucer in Mars to flying fish outside of the Children’s Museum, Pittsburgh knows how to show off its creativity. That creativity is also illustrated by the crazy street names in Pittsburgh.
- Electric Avenue
Flickr/Jon Dawson Gonna rock down to Electric Avenue…and you don’t have far to go because Pittsburgh’s got its very own Electric Avenue.
- Shades of Death Road
Wikimedia Commons/Incry Shades of Death Road has, well, a pretty grim story behind it and, if you believe local lure, is haunted by miners who were killed in a mine collapse nearby. Their moans and wails are heard by drivers who dare drive down this road in Avella.
- Philander Street – Pittsburgh
Flickr/Classic Film What can be said about Philander Street?
- Arctic Way
Flickr/Ornoth Pittsburgh’s got both an Arctic Way and an Antarctic Way. Do you suppose Antarctic Way is colder than Arctic Way?
- Our Way
Google Maps Head down to Oakland where you can turn off of Fifth Avenue and head straight down Our Way.
- Obey Street
Flickr/Ed Summers Obey Street runs through the Elliott neighborhood. The photo above, however, was taken near the Andy Warhol Museum.
- Romance Way
Flickr/Helen Taylor Would you rather live on Romance Way or on Purity Way, both streets in Pittsburgh?
- Kakakitty Lane

- Tuxedo Street
Wikimedia Commons/Nicogenin What do you suppose the creator of Tuxedo Street was thinking when he or she named the street? Formal suit? Or a breed of cat?
- T Way
Flickr/Karyn Christner The good news about T Way? It’s easy to remember and easy to spell.
Okay, fellow Pittsburghers, what crazy street names in Pittsburgh do you nominate for a part two of this list?
