I challenge anyone to find an odder street name in all of NYC…
“So you live on Highland Place? I’m right around the corner on Force Tube Avenue.“
Now don’t dismiss the validity of this Brooklyn street, however, as it actually marks the path of the once-active water pump, or “force tube”, that pumped water collected from Long Island into the Ridgewood Reservoir. And according to this site, force tubes are still designed and used today.
