Do You Really Want to Live on THAT Street?

I happened to be looking up a property today that had the following address: 9182 Dongston Way, Sacramento, CA.  Oooookay, Dongston is a bit of an … interesting name for a street.  *Oh, there are so many possibilities, but I will exercise restraint.* J Ehem (he pauses to clear his throat), yes, so as I used Google Earth to get an overhead view of this property, I found that Dongston Way connects to Schmuckley Drive.  Hmm.  Schmuckley, eh?  Since this is Sacramento, my first thought was that this might be the street housing most, if not all, of our State politicians—yes, I went there.  Searching further, however, caused me to learn that Schmuckley Drive connects into TallyHo Drive.  *I’m not kidding; see the screen shot below if you don’t believe me!*  So, Dongston to Schmuckley to TallyHo.  It’s either the weirdest double-play combination I’ve ever heard, or somebody must have been on some very powerful stimulants when it came to naming these streets.  You decide; I have a headache now.
