I'll meet you down on Hooker Lane

In Greenwich, CT, a wealthy suburb of New York, there is a residential street called Hooker Lane. Residents, with little more to complain about than the local Lacoste store having a low stock on pink shirts, are up in arms:
"Well, there's 'You live on Prostitute Street,' that's typical," said Brendan O'Connor, a cherub-faced 12-year-old, whose world-weary tone belied his tender age. "It's grating," his mother, Lisa O'Connor, said."

You've got to be joking. The 9 of the 11 homeowners on the street signed a petition to change the name and have called a Town Meeting to vote on the new name. Good to know democracy is still working for the little people.
