An appropriate street name

I am often amused by street names. For example, we used to live on High Tor Hill. For those of you who don't know this, a "tor" is a type of hill. It would be like serving an entre at a restaurant called Scaly Salmon Fish. But this one (taken from the Nashua Telegraph), I find both appropriate and enjoyable:

"PSNH wins OK to expand substation
HUDSON – Public Service of New Hampshire is expanding its facility on Power Street to keep pace with increasing electricity demands in the area. The planning board on Wednesday voted to allow PSNH to build a second substation at its Hudson facility, doubling the amount of power the utility"


... assuming that the only thing on Power Street is the PSNH substation. (grin)
