Hi all,
From another list, this question has been posed.
I don't remember discussing it here. Anyone know the answer?
:)
Thanks,

Since multi-county points are still
fair game for discussion, does anyone
know if there are any 5-county points
in the US (or anywhere else)?
6-or-higher county points?
Somewhat
related: Raleigh has an intersection called "Five Points", but
there are
really Six directions one can go -- either way on Glenwood Avenue
(a.k.a.
US-70), either way on Fairview Road, and one "point" each for
Whitaker Mill
Road, and Glenn Avenue.. On the other side of the coin,
Raleigh also
has a road called "Six Forks Road", named originally after the
crossroads of
Six Forks, now part of north Raleigh. But try as I may, I can
only
count Five Forks at that location -- either way on Six Forks, either
way on
Strickland Road, and one "prong" for Baileywick Road (which is really
even a
separate intersection, though it may have been different long ago),
A
subdivision off of Six Forks Road, but not near old Six Forks itself, has
two
streets that play on that road's name -- they have Six Spoons and Six
Knives
Roads -- really just short cul-de-sacs.
