Hell Hole Creek Rd. Despite the name, one of the best driving roads for miles around. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hell+Hole+Creek+Rd,+Queensland/@-27.6473259,152.0178876,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x6b9659a5ed1b2dbd:0x778ec458e1e995ce!8m2!3d-27.6473259!4d152.0200763
In the Neterlands we have : Kattegat: cat’s ass and a village called Sexbierum Sex-Beer-Rum, although that one’s not that depressing.
There’s a place in Queensland called ‘Bald Knob’. I can think of a few people who SHOULD live there.
There’s a Dykes rd in Church Hill, TN. To my knowledge, no lesbians live on it though. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dykes+Rd,+Church+Hill,+TN+37642/@36.5055945,-82.7382242,18z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x885afa7648643ed5:0xcab9679c6cc2b6f2!2sDykes+Rd,+Church+Hill,+TN+37642!3b1!8m2!3d36.5055643!4d-82.7371352!3m4!1s0x885afa7648643ed5:0xcab9679c6cc2b6f2!8m2!3d36.5055643!4d-82.7371352
I’m surprised he didn’t list the Sydney suburb Greystains. I always think it sounds depressing
And in the Sierras just west of Lake Tahoe is Desolation Valley
There was a family who actually lived on SKUNK’S MISERY LANE in LOCUST VALLEY, NY. That IMHO is about as dire an address as they come!
