Thanks, pomegranate! Skipvia, I presume you're not referring to Avalon, NJ? ;-) (Added--it is a beautiful word.)

I've always loved stories about Avalon. Even the name is evocative...

the doldrums? sin city? skid row? shangri-la? the twilight zone? ground zero? death row? the ivory tower? the groves of academe? never-never land? brigadoon? serendip?

Both already listed! (Lonely Avenue rather than Lonely Street.)

Thanks, m! In addition to the Coleridge poem, Xanadu reminds me of my graduate years--the university had just completed a huge, state-of-the-art student center, which one of my English lit professors called the Stately Pleasure-Dome. :-)

Here's some places to visit: slippery slope, cloud nine, and my favorite, the funny farm.

Ah yes, you're right. Excuse me.

77 Sunset Strip...off Route 66?

Between the devil and the deep blue sea?

Also heard lonely avenue on a song lyric...

I like that one, palooka. Added. Also adding the phrase from whence it came. :-)

Great list! An unforeseen but common destination is [between a rock & a hard place].

You're quite welcome, SoG. Feel free to inspire a list of mine any day. :-)

Ooh! Thanks, colleen! Meant to add that one.

I am touched. This is a great idea for a list!

Trivet, only if we stay at the Heartbreak Hotel. They have free Continental breakfast, but it sucks.

Sure! We'll get there via the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
