- madcaptenor 9y agoI'm not even going to ask what a nut hatch is.
- snerbles 9y agoIt's a small passerine bird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuthatch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuthatch
- mywittyname 9y agoWhen I was in sixth grade, our science teacher had us go bird watching every school day and document the birds we'd saw. Eleven-year-old me immediately became obsessed with red-breasted nuthatches. To this day, when I see one, I'll yell out to my wife, "Look! A red-breasted nuthatch!"
- nathancahill 9y agoWait until you see a Great tit (Parus major)
- Symbiote 9y agoOr any thrush (Turdus), booby (Sula), crane (Bugeranus, old name). There are many, many rude-sounding Latin names.

- madcaptenor 9y agoA politically relevant one: https://www.crossing.us/intersections/donald/moscow https://www.crossing.us/intersections/donald/moscow (It's actually the intersection of "Don" and "Moscow". But judging from the other street names here, "Don" was probably intended to be the river in Russia.)
- ctab 9y agoThe story of why a tiny town in Kansas has Russian-themed street names is pretty fascinating (to me anyway): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munjor,_Kansas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munjor,_Kansas
- tuespetre 9y agoIt's fascinating to me too; I live in Ellis county and my wife and I both have Volga German ancestry :)

It does not exist, or maybe it exists, but only in superposition: https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Heisenberg/Schr%C3%B6dinger https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Heisenberg/Schr%C3%B6d...

- SaintGhurka 9y agoIt seems to have trouble with street names that don't start with the search string. So it didn't find the corner of Antonio and Banderas, maybe because it's "Avenida de las Banderas". Nearby Antonio and Oso Parkway was no problem, though. https://www.crossing.us/intersections/antonio/oso https://www.crossing.us/intersections/antonio/oso Then again, it doesn't have a problem with the San in "San Antonio Avenue" https://www.crossing.us/intersections/antonio/flores https://www.crossing.us/intersections/antonio/flores
- commandar 9y agoI don't think it's just location in the string. It couldn't find this one either. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nancy+Reagan+Dr,+Alpharetta,+GA+30005/@34.1072692,-84.2260662,18.75z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x88f59c2aec90686d:0xc94daca46c75f1!8m2!3d34.1094714!4d-84.2267187 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nancy+Reagan+Dr,+Alpharett...
- yitchelle 9y agoI think it is cute that the Amazon adverts that is on the side of the screen leverage the names you entered into the search bar. Quite clever actually.
- ratinacage 9y agoThere are actually two of these: https://www.crossing.us/intersections/tesla/edison https://www.crossing.us/intersections/tesla/edison
- madcaptenor 9y agoI was expecting these to be in horrible suburban office parks.
- cdevs 9y agoI wonder how a simple site like profit on a mobile ad, I assume it's only good on certain bumps of viral traffic and even then would get around 300 a month. If it's doing well then I need to pump out some simple mobile sites
- madcaptenor 9y agoI can't tell if there's an intersection of Church and State. All the top results at https://www.crossing.us/intersections/church/state https://www.crossing.us/intersections/church/state (for me) have Church Street/Road intersecting with State Highway X or similar.
- pklausler 9y agoI know that Church and State intersect in Chippewa Falls, WI.
- timdellinger 9y agoThere's in intersection of Church Street and State Street in Champaign IL.
- 1123581321 9y agoChurch and State intersect in many of the cities I've lived in! They are common road names.
- madcaptenor 9y agoThat's what I thought! But I don't know any of those intersections personally.
- winestock 9y agoAnn Arbor, Michigan (the location of the main University of Michigan campus) has a Church Street and a State Street, but they do not intersect. I read a joke that went: In Ann Arbor, separation of Church and State is about three blocks.
- macintux 9y agoI stumbled across an amusing sequence of streets in Brooklyn, Indiana. When you leave Home Avenue, you can go one block west to Church Street, or one block east to Hooker Street.
- ryanschneider 9y agoThis one always makes me giggle when driving through it but didn't show up on the site: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Antonio+Pkwy+%26+Avenida+De+Las+Banderas,+Rancho+Santa+Margarita,+CA+92688/@33.6202726,-117.6115259,3a,66.8y,218.94h,84.23t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sKw9IqhxyKCHC8DJQbPwc8A!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x80dceb912706b9b3:0x3944f2782af6fbd5 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Antonio+Pkwy+%26+Avenida+D... https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Antonio/Banderas https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Antonio/Banderas
- metrognome 9y agoI was about to check the site for this intersection! I wonder if the streets were named deliberately for this purpose...
- seanmcdirmid 9y agohttps://www.crossing.us/intersections/democrat/republican https://www.crossing.us/intersections/democrat/republican Who would have thought that only one would exist in...Memphis.
- dictum 9y agoIt's easy if you try... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Democrats https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Democrats
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoMeh, southern democrats exist because some southern voters still associate Lincoln with today's republican party.
- raffandi 9y agoThere's also https://www.crossing.us/intersections/bill/ted https://www.crossing.us/intersections/bill/ted
- chiph 9y agoThe greatest and least heinous of all intersections.
- onorton 9y agoManaged to find my name in it. I suppose both parts are fairly common. https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Oliver/Norton https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Oliver/Norton
- YCode 9y agoMy wife took it as a highly romantic gesture when I sent her the link for our names. So thanks for the easy points!
- qqg3 9y agoI wanted to do the same thing, no results! I guess thats what having obscure names is all about
- infogulch 9y agoYeah I wouldn't expect many streets are named "qqg3".
- altotrees 9y agoI tried to search for something I could take as a cosmic sign, inputting my girlfriend's name and then my own. Nada. Zippo. Zilch. We were however eating in a restaurant last year, a pizza place where people scribbled on the walls in marker, kind of an added character thing. Above my girlfriend's left shoulder were our names in faded writing, dated 4 years prior. We do not have fairly common names, so I'll take that as my sign. Anyway, I digress. This is pretty cool and I have sent it along to my friends.
- itcrowd 9y agoDo you interpret it as a positive sign (since your names were there) or negative sign (since the writing has faded)..?
- altotrees 9y agoGood question...I would say a positive sign. Although faded, the names were still there four years later — kind of like how initial infatuation fades but hopefully the deeper love stays strong? Maybe a reach.
- Sleeep 9y ago

- everyone 9y agoI amazed commenters here are looking up non-rude intersections. Classy bunch!
- madcaptenor 9y agoI think most people probably start by looking up rude ones, then feel a bit embarrassed and move on to non-rude.
- wiredfool 9y agoNot entirely sure how the listing for Peachtree and Peachtree didn't find anything in Georgia.
- Cpoll 9y agoThere's a ton for "Peach Tree" and "Peach Tree" Edit: Misread, I thought you meant there weren't any results, not even in Georgia. The best I could do is "Peach" and "Peach Tree" for GA results.
- rosser 9y agoYears ago, I was visiting friends in Atlanta, one of whom was a civil engineer for GDoT. He took me to the intersection of Rosser Rd and Rosser Pl.
- jandrese 9y agoThat's hardly uncommon. Up near Calgary they went big on planned developments. If you lived in oaktree then you would come in on Oaktree Road, turn off on Oaktree lane, take the corner at Oaktree Place, and then turn on your street, Oaktree circle. Mail got misdelivered quite frequently in that area, often because the people addressing it weren't paying enough attention.
- madcaptenor 9y agoAnecdotally that seems very common in the suburbs of Atlanta. We're lazy about our street names here. I live at X Road and X Court (for some value of X) and that's not the only intersection like that in my subdivision. If I had a good data set I'd check if it's actually particularly common here or if I just noticed it since I moved here.
- cperciva 9y agoJust outside Vancouver (Canada) you can find the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Lougheed Highway.
- marssaxman 9y agoHere in Seattle there is an intersection between Belmont Avenue and Belmont Place, two blocks away from the intersection of Bellevue Avenue, Bellevue Place, and Bellevue Court. You might think that such an improbable intersection would be located within the city of Bellevue itself - but no, that's across the lake, ten miles east.
- djrogers 9y agoI'm honestly kinda fed up with sites that prompt me to share my geolocation while they load. Why should I have to clear a prompt before accessing the site? And it clearly works well without knowing my location, so why make the prompt something everyone has to go through?
- choward 9y agoThanks for mentioning this. I'm now pretty sure this is the reason some sites don't load at all in the app that I use.

- NDizzle 9y agoHa, it found the intersection that made me giggle when I was 10, and still makes me smile. The intersection of Crouch St. and SE P St. in Bentonville, AR. Crouch and pee, everyone. My grandma lived on the corner there thirty years ago.

- jandrese 9y agoHaving lived in the south for a few decades, I am extremely surprised there is no Jackson and Lee intersection anywhere.

- vowelless 9y agoNice! But I wish I could also check for triplets so I could find absurdities like this Bellevue,Bellevue,Bellevue intersection in Seattle : https://goo.gl/maps/fj55h9auMSL2 https://goo.gl/maps/fj55h9auMSL2
- huac 9y agoAnd imagine if that intersection was in Bellevue!
- reallynice 9y agoIt’s worth mentioning that you can enter just one name and Crossing will pull in a bunch of intersections across the country that contain that one moniker.
- kbutler 9y agoSingle name search seems broken: We couldn't find any intersections for James We couldn't find any intersections for Molly Actually, looks like it's just broken in general. We couldn't find any intersections for james and molly But it worked a few minutes ago...
- rockostrich 9y agoThe endpoint is throwing 502s now. Looks like they decided to just handle all bad responses with "We couldn't find any intersections..."
- pc86 9y agoThat seems like the wrong way to do it.
- numerum-bestiae 9y agoTrue, anything else would've been better - even a 404. Kept me wandering
- pc86 9y agoWhere did you end up?
- oxguy3 9y agoBroken for me too :(. Not getting results even for incredibly generic searches (e.g. Main and Walnut)
- jeremybmerrill 9y agoDeveloper here. Sorry, all the HN traffic overwhelmed my t2.micro. Had to upgrade a li'l bit.
- nsxwolf 9y agoWe couldn't find any intersections for haight and ashbury Am I missing something?
- chheplo 9y agoI tried The example given on the landing page and it's not working either.
- komali2 9y agoWhat is this site doing with my geolocation information?
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- alistairSH 9y agoSite is broken. Nothing works.
- Sohcahtoa82 9y agoSite was overloaded. It's working now.
- CodeWriter23 9y agoThis confirms for me that when my grandfather would say "I'll be at the corner of Walk & Don't Walk", he was employing a euphemism that meant he was going out drinking.
- dmode 9y agoContrary to popular opinion, Trump and Lincoln does meet: https://www.crossing.us/intersections/trump/lincoln https://www.crossing.us/intersections/trump/lincoln
- Sohcahtoa82 9y agoOooh...it seems to be smart, or at least accepts loose matches. I searched for "Judith" and it matched a street named "Judy".
- hibbelig 9y agoIt doesn't find Grant and Green in SF.
- jeremybmerrill 9y agoHere it is: https://www.crossing.us/intersection/06110498932921_110498932948 https://www.crossing.us/intersection/06110498932921_11049893...

- Sleeep 9y agoWow, that -entire- neighborhood is named after places in New York: Ithica, Albany, Buffalo, Elmira, Mt. Vernon, Great Neck, Jamestown, Middletown, New Rochelle, Coney Island, Syracuse, Queens, Niagra, Yonkers, Catskill, Cohoes, Westchester The only streets that aren't associated with New York place are Terita, Faith, and Norwick. There's also a whole bunch of other NY places in surrounding streets. (Utica, Rye, Troy, Rochester, Corning, Rome, Vassar, etc.) Really cool! The cool part is pretty much the entire state is covered,from The City to the Hudson Valley to Western NY, to the Southern Tier. (Found the person who grew up in New York)
