Deep Purplestraat
I’ll see your Highway Star hotel and raise you a Purple street, says Rudie Rutjes. In the town of Lent, which is just north of Nijmegen in The Netherlands, there is a new neigbourhood with streets named after rock bands. And there it is — tucked neatly between Pink Floydstraat and Queenstraat — the venerable Deep Purplestraat.
Other places of interest discovered after some idle googling:
- Deep Purple Way, San Jose, California, USA
- Deep Purple Drive, middle of nowhere, Florida, USA
- Deep Purple LLC, Birmingham, Alabama, USA (listed under restarurants)
- Deep Purple Homestay, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
- Deep Purple beach resort, Chennai, India
- Deep Purple bar (?), Jamshedpur, India
- Deep Purple Nail & Beauty, Ashwell, Baldock, Hertfordshire, UK
Ah, well… I need to get a life 😉
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
and also in Holland, in Wij Bij Duurstede, they have a women-clothes store called “Deep Purple (I do have a picture of it)

November 11th, 2014 at 19:09Don’t you all want to live there?
Funny that there’s no Led Zeppelin street, nor a Black Sabbath street. So who is the most influential rock band now?
