Description
Ragged Ass Roadis a short
unpaved
residential street in the Old Town section of
Yellowknife
,
Northwest Territories
,
Canada
. Its name started as a joke in 1970 by resident Lou Rocher, who owned much of the property along it at the time, and his friends. At the time the street had been known as "Privy Road" due to the large number of
outhouses
along it. When a difficult
prospecting
season yielded little income, convincing residents that they were "ragged ass broke", they decided that that should be the name of the street.
While widely used, the name was somewhat controversial. It was not officially recognized by the city with signposts until the mid-2010s, after Rocher's death. It has been described as one of the most famous streets in Canada. Singer
Tom Cochrane
named
his 1995 album
after it, including a song about the street.
