It's a fairly short street, but it has a lot of trees and nice landscaping around the houses. I'll have to take a picture of it (the streetsign) sometime...

There's an Elmira Road in Vacaville (see my previous post to find out where Vacaville is). Because of RinkWorks, I know that there is an Elmira College and a town of Elmira.

I would pay money to see a Layla Road or, better yet, a Layla Lane.
