Narrow Streets Of Cobblestone

I've noticed that there are some really weirdly-named roads in my area.

Along Route 366 there exist Lincoln Beach and Kiebler Beach. No clue about the source of the names, although they do cross Pucketa Creek.

Out on Route 8 you will find Elfinwild Road. Obviously named before J. R. R. Tolkien became notable, or it would have been spelled Elvenwild, which I just think sounds better.

Found this one just outside New Kensington. Isn't this one refreshingly straightforward? If you look closely at the actual sign, the street's old name of McKean can be seen.

Better yet, Hampton Township is home to Lah Road. Yeah, that's it. Just 'Lah'. According to a reader, it's a common family name in the area, so that at least is a reasonable explanation. Even so, what kind of last name is 'Lah'?

Also in Hampton Township is Talley Cavey Road. According to Wikipedia, it's the original name of the nearby borough of Allison Park. The name originated with a location on the Ards Peninsula on the east coast of Ireland.

A third Hampton location poses a bit more of a mystery. Rihn Strasse, translated from German, just means 'Rhine Street'.

Meanwhile, out around Washington Township, there's Zubal Road. Again, it's probably just a family name, but I have to say it's just fun to say. Say it out loud Zubal. Zuuubaaalll. See, wasn't that fun?

Out around Johnstown on US-22 is Dishong Mountain Road. Another family name, if my research is correct. The name sounds kind of like the last refuge of Chinese steam locomotives - the Jitong Railway, home of the Qiangjing 2-10-2-types.

Also on US-22 is Harry Boring Road. Inclusion on this list makes it interesting. A longtime reader says it's also a family name, as there's a business in downtown Johnstown called Blaine Boring Chocolates. I'm not kidding.

Got a weird or inexplicably named road in your area? Let me know about it.
