Not sure if you've experienced it or not over about the past 30 days. But hitting the drive-thru at a Midland Starbucks can be hit or miss, if you're an early riser and early to work like we are. Typically-one of us from the morning show makes the coffee run on the way into the stations just after 5 am. Lately, we've been running into the locations being closed when we get there with lights off, empty parking lots, and a sandwich board sign in the drive-thru lane saying the store is closed and sorry for the inconvenience. So I got curious and decided to investigate.

No matter where you live street names can vary from everything from numbers like 1st Avenue, etc to letters like A Street.. There are common names like the names of states (Illinois Street, Louisiana, Kentucky, Kansas, even Texas, etc). Those names the names of Ssates always seem to be the streets that go thru downtown areas. Also names of things like alcohol (Bourbon street, etc). Some can be unique, odd, and strange street names. We have all of them here in the Permian Basin. A combination consisting of numbers (42nd in Odessa as an example) or maybe even things like County Road X and State Highway X to nouns like University street. Some have more than one pronunciation like Cerrillos Avenue. In English, you would pronounce the two L's. In Spanish it would be Cerr REE os. Depending on the neighborhood, they can be pretty creative, too. Like Conquistador meaning Spanish Conqueror. We also can't leave out character names as street names like Friar Tuck.
