Top 20 Street Names In Lake Charles Most People Mispronounce
I don't care where you are from, be it you've lived here all your life, or just visiting Lake Charles. This city has some really weird street names. I'm not from Louisiana myself, and that is most of my problem I'm sure. Of course, a lot of the street names are French which is why most visitors share the same dialect issues I have.
What's really funny though, is there are a lot of people who were born and raised here that can't say some of these street names either. Now that's hilarious! Even still, who comes up with these street names anyway? Is there some kind of database they choose from? Who is in charge of naming the streets in Lake Charles? I often wonder, because some of the names way out there.
