Yes, four lucky families share a cul-de-sac called Broomrape Lane.

Every city has its coveted streets, blocks, and addresses—like Park and Fifth Avenues in New York, Broadway in San Francisco, Chicago's Gold Coast—but this map has nothing to do with those storied bastions of taste. Instead, this is an exploration of the far from prestigious, the sometimes mortifying, the always entertaining worst addresses in America. Welcome to a world where directions include "take a left at Poopoo Place" and "go down Psycho Path."

1. Yah, except that Broomrape is a common plant

It's a member of the yarrow family. I'm betting the people who live there know that. Knowledge is a wonderful thing. If it weren't for that, this would be funny. But, there is that, so it's not.

3. Not embarrassing, but back in the 1970s I knew a guy

who lived on Lois Lane. Funny enough.
