Top Five Hardest Fresno Street Names To Spell

Spelling is hard. Hard for me, anyway. This blog would be a disaster without spellcheck.

Not only are regular words tough, sometimes, so are Fresno street names. Here are five common Fresno streets that I always mess up spelling.

5. Ashlan. I always want to say “Ashland”.

4. Maroa. The o & a combo throws me.

3. Divisadero. It seems like the “a” should be an “i”.

2. Stanislaus. A lot of s to deal with.

1.Tuolumne. Where the hell did you even come from, “n”?!

I’m not the only Fresnan in town that sucks at spelling. Just a few of the replies on Twitter:

I always have to look up what vowel is in the middle of Divisadero.

It’s really just trying to remember which one is Milburn and which one is Millbrook.

Honorable mention goes to “Dakota”. It should not be that hard for me or anybody, but it is. Hell, sometimes everything is hard. Life is a series of Alluvials.
