The January 11, 2009, List Serve ranked their ten most amazing streets. They are:
#10-- Gravity Hill in various locations where things appear to defy the laws of physics.
#9-- Ebenezer Place, Scotland-- World's shortest street, 6.8 feet long and just one house, actually a hotel, on it.
#8-- Pan-American Highway-- The world's longest at 29,800 miles through 15 countries.
#7-- Parliament Street, Exeter, England-- world's narrowest, 25 inches at narrowest, dates from the 1300s and is 50 meters long.
#6-- Road to Giza-- Oldest paved road-- 4,600 years, 6 and a half feet wide, 7 and a half miles long. Connected quarries to the Nile River for pyramid construction.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
