    Description

    Ragged Ass Road
    is 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.
