Hi,
Saw this over on the wow forums and thought everyone here would get a kick out of it:

The bottom three are all the same city! I guess the guy who made the street names played WoW >.> lol xD

Well, I assumed you took those pictures... or not?
Edit: NEVERMIND, FULLY READING OP PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA
Basically, those pictures are from a subburb of Ottawa, Ontario. I happen to live not far away from there.

LOL. No, I did not take those pictures. I'm FROM Manchester, England, and live in Northern California.
Cheers.

I currently live in Ottawa, thus the prompt from Lanky to check them out for myself. I naturally assumed the last two were in Orleans, with the first (lacking either French or a city logo) was a bit of a tossup between Kanata or Barrhaven.

If you do any sort of map search, you'll find Stormwind Ave fairly close to Orleans, to the Southeast.

Ah. Hadn't done that. Was basing my guesses off knowledge of where the city is currently growing.

I have a friend who lives out that way, and he pointed out to me a while ago that these streets existed, though he didn't mention where they were, or what exactly the street names were. Given the city logo on those street signs though, I figured it out fairly quickly ;)
Edit: Just out of curiosity, what part of the city do you live in?

All four of those are close together in Orleans, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Near where I live.... just noticed them this weekend as a friend (who knows nothing of WoW) told me he lives on Stormwind Ave. There's also Ravenswood Way and Lakeridge Drive.
For the record this is how streets are named:
"Streets are named through various development approval processes, for example as part of a Subdivision Plan, Road Opening or Private Roadway application. For general wayfinding, street names are an integral component of any development. The property owner submits street names for approval by City Council."
As these are all in a subdivision, the builder would have come up with the names. Obviously someone there plays WoW.

Or just likes fantasy sounding names, since those are staples in other fantasy worlds as well.
