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.

Ten Most Amazing Streets-- Part 2

#5-- 9 de Julie Avenue, Argentina-- World's widest. Six lanes each direction.

#4-- Lombard Street, San Francisco-- World's crookedest. 8 hair-pin turns, would have been too steep to navigate otherwise.

#3-- Magie Roundabout, Swinden, England-- world's worst roundabout. (Personally, I'd vote for the one in Boston near Logan Airport, perhaps the scariest at least. However, as far as I'm concerned, any traffic circle is horrible.)

#2-- Savoy Court-- only street in England where cars can legally drive on the right. (I could even drive on this one.)

#1-- Baldwin Street-- Dunedin, New Zealand-- designed by British town planners who simply overlaid a grid without any idea of elevation. This has a 35% grade and is so steep, the top is made of concrete because asphalt would slide down the hill in hot water. (This is one steep street.)

How about any Boston Street, Especially in the Old Part of Town. The Only Place I Know That Whenever You Turn, You Risk Hitting a Building as the Streets ARE THAT NARROW!!!-- RoadDog
