‘Lustful’ street in US may get new name
September 9th, 2010 - 6:42 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, Sept 9 (ANI): Lustful Court in the American state of Georgia may get a name if its residents start a petition for a less provocative street name.
County commissioner Lonzy Edwards raised the possibility of a name change at a board meeting after receiving complaints.
“I just believe that that does not reflect well on our community or the people who live in that area,” the BBC quoted him as saying.
Authorities do not know where the tiny street’s name originated, and locals say they are met with laughter and confusion when they reveal their address.
Yoshonda Patterson, who rents a property on Lustful Court, Macon, hopes that people will stop getting the wrong idea about the neighbourhood if the name is changed. (ANI)
