Let's be honest, here in Evansville we have some wacky road names.  For people who have grown up here, it's like second nature to pronounce them properly.  But for out-of-towners, it can be a real pain in the butt navigating the Tri-State if you can't pronounce some of Evansville's most traveled roads!  As someone who moved here when I was 23 years old, I feel the pain of the "tourists" who scratch their heads at some of the spellings of these street names:

TECUMSEH LANE:

This is really just an ugly assembly of random letters.

 

BOEKE ROAD:

If we're going to pronounce it as "Bakey," why didn't we just spell it "Bakey?"

 

TEKOPPEL AVENUE:

This literally looks like we're just starting a game of Scrabble and these are our opening letters!

 

BOEHNE CAMP ROAD:

Little known fact, Boehne Camp Road is based off of a summer camp for kids who have a hard time pronouncing things properly.

 

HEIDELBACH AVENUE:

Seriously, whose idea was THIS?!
