I just have to say, whenever I see this thread title ('DOE'), I first think it's a discussion about the Department of Energy...

I don't know why.

Funny, I thought it was a discussion about the Department of Education.

In Maine, any street whose name end in "Road" takes a definite article. So people say "Kenduskeag Ave" (pronounced "av", not "avenue") and "Pine Street" but say "the Hogan Road".
