The Ridiculous History of Atlanta's Street Names
About this episode
The episode explores the peculiar naming conventions of streets in Atlanta, particularly the prevalence of 'Peachtree' in various forms.
OK, folks: yes, Ben, Noel and Max are well aware of Atlanta's bizarre habit of naming every other street 'Peachtree' something-or-other. But did you know this city also has multiple streets with completely different names depending on the neighborhood? The boys discover the answer, which is both ridiculous... and chilling.
