This doesn’t begin to qualify but I always thought Hempstead-Westcott-Washington-Franklin-Navigation-Broadway was a pretty cool street!

As someone who actually lives on that street, it's Westheimer Rd. I've gotten used to spelling it when I have to give my address to someone who's not from here. And I always have to add "one word". Otherwise, it gets entered as West Heimer.

And yes, it is an amazing street. Heart of Montrose, counter-culture type businesses, River Oaks, Highland Village, RO District, Galleria area, residential... and on and on. For miles.

I loved the sign (guess it's still there) marking Westheimer as "FARM ROAD 1093" right alongside the Galleria! Texas Monthly once recognized it as the busiest "farm to market road" in Texas!

That sounds like an alternative route from Jersey Village to Hobby Airport but that is not one continuous street in name or pathway.

I would say you can find anything along Bissonett. Everything from million dollar houses and fine dining, to ramshackle housing, crack, and street walking prostitutes.

lol - on the west end suburban sprawl with no definite plan around it which basically will serve as a reminder of what it will become when you come from the East

Tidwell Area=East-West corridor. W. Tidwell runs under the 290 overpass & ends at Hempstead & E. Tidwell runs alongside Beltway 8 before its termination.

I see people are still not satisfied with this post and keep debating. What's the reason not to believe that Bellfort is the longest? Seems quite legit to me.
