The "Keith Richards" intersection
Living in Riverwest, I often cross an intersection just west of my neighborhood that makes me snicker every time I pass by: Keefe (Avenue) and Richards (Street). The joke -- "Look, it's Keefe Richards" never gets old, as long as it's said in a British accent.
It was actually my friend Matt who pointed out this rock 'n' roll intersection many years ago, and since then, I have tried to find others that are humorous in some way. Unfortunately, I haven't found another intersection with street names that complete one another, but if you know of one, start talkin' back.Â

There is an intersection of N. 70th St & N. 69th St north of Brown Deer Rd. Kinda funny.

Web search result (as an example):
"Keith Richards Bootlegs
A nice website listing track details for all of Keef's bootlegs, plus album cover graphics and more."

Did you know Keith's nickname is Keef? Makes it even better. 25 years ago the band the Squares took a publicity photo there with the signs clearly visible and it was really awesome. Nobody seems to talk about the Keefe Richards thing anymore. Thanks for bringing it back up!

Does fashion have to change in middle age?
Published May 19, 2013
Just because a woman turns 35 or 38 or 40 doesn't mean her wardrobe has to become a wasteland of frump and "mom jeans." Especially these days, when 40 is supposedly the new 30. But are there fashion dos and don'ts for middle-aged women?

What's with H&M's sizing?
