Port Vale Street


Doha

Recommended Posts

I've got a mate from school who went to uni in the USA and now lives near Dallas, at some point when the CV19 situation has relented they've been after me flying over and doing a road trip. 

While doing a bit of scoping on furkot roadtrips and google maps I came across this newbuild estate in the middle of suburbia

But then realised all around it are other roads named after football league clubs

There's Crewe court, Southampton drive, Cardiff court, Leyton drive, Ipswich lane, Sheffield Drive, Gillingham lane, Fulham lane, Crawley lane, Barnsley drive, Burnley drive, Reading drive, Rotherham court, (Dagenham and) Redbridge Lane, Millwall drive, Blackpool lane, Shrewsbury drive, and Middlesbrough Drive.

Just thought it was quite interesting, must be a Brit working over there for the construction company. The lad is clearly switched on as Port Vale is the main bit and the rest are side streets.

You'll be pleased to know I couldn't find any record of naming summat after Stoke over there, bar some blokes farm. Even the Texans fcking hate them red and white lardy <ovf censored>. 

As you were.

Brilliant !

On a similar tact, in the early 60’s when all I wanted to do was to eat, sleep & drink Vale, I remember being so excited that there was a ship named the “Port Vale” !

Having an unusual name probably lends itself to this sort of use, but I love the idea of Vale being celebrated  in Texas !

Having Port Vale Street in Middleport is one thing, but Texas !

There is or used to be a model of that in the Lorne Street.

Having done a bit of further googling there's a Tunstall in Virginia, which in turn is relatively close to two Burslem streets in Maryland and North Carolina. Three being relatively close to each other on the eastern seaboard makes me wonder if that was the result of SoT migration.

No 'Stoke' though anywhere. Hated everywhere they go.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to McKinney, Texas, but it’s about 45 minutes drive to Port Vale Drive. Takes you, appropriately, through Prosper (which we all hope we will, next season). IMG_2105.JPG
