Texas neighborhood has ‘Friends’-themed street names

TAYLOR, Texas (KXAN) — A neighborhood just outside of Austin features some familiar names in a neighborhood where your friends will always be there for you.

In Taylor, you can pivot your way into a “Friends”-themed neighborhood, where you’ll find other memorable, familiar names connected to the series.


According to the City of Taylor, the creation of the street names lies with the developer. Furthermore, the developer is WBW Development, which is based in Killeen.

Pivot Drive and Yemen Road

‘Pivot, pivot, pivot!’

If you’re a “Friends” fan, then you remember the pivot scene, when Ross asks for help moving a sofa upstairs. When Ross, Rachel and Chandler start attempting to turn up the stairs, Ross starts yelling pivot multiple times before they all give up and put the sofa down.

As for Yemen Road, do you remember the episode where Chandler actually went to Yemen just to fully break up with Janice? That’s some serious commitment to breaking up. Not to mention that plane ticket was $2,100. Oh my God, that’s expensive.

Gunther Way

We can’t forget about Gunther. Whether he was pining over Rachel or telling Rachel that Ross cheated on her (ouch, can’t forget that one, right), he was always an iconic character in every episode he was in for the 10-season run.
