SHORTEST - Street in the World - Bellefontaine, OH - Superlatives on Waymarking.com

An interesting, if not kitschy, superlative here. McKinley St. in Bellefontaine, Ohio is named for former president McKinley. This is also shown to be the shortest street in the world. By my estimate the street is probably 20-30' long. As shown in the picture, it's the road between the building and the railroad tracks. It runs from the yellow curb you see, to the yield sign, so really only about the width of the building standing there.

In doing an online search it seems that a town in Scotland has also laid claim to having the shortest street in the world, and Bellefontaine's homepage (linked below) claims it to be the shortest street in America now.
