I find the names of streets in different towns interesting.... so I thought it would be fun to make an ABC game of it. Obviously a lot of towns have streets of the same name, so put the name of the town you're thinking of in brackets afterwards. I'll start it off:


Ainslie Street (Cambridge ON Canada)

Klockringaregatan (in Swedish) or Kellonsoittajankatu (in Finnish) (Turku, Finland) translated to English it would be something like the Ringer of the Bell's street

In bilingual towns here in Finland we have the street names in both languages

That's cool. I think we might have them in French and English in certain places here too.... and French and Gaelic in one town...
