How would I go about finding out whether such a specific intersection of road names exists?

There are two words that I would like to see intersect as road names. Anywhere in the country, or world really. How would I go about finding out whether such a specific intersection of road names exists?
In mapquest, I have to put in a zip code, and I really don't want to spend hours typing in different zip codes. I would like a comprehensive search by at least state, preferably by country.
Google maps doesn't seem to have an intersection function.
Thanks in advance!

Best answer: Have you tried Ampersand in Google maps? Like this.

Try using an ampersand - e.g., "State St. & Main St."

You could google "main and elm" (for example) and you'd conceivably get hits for all the instances of main and elm, at least as far as the ones mentioned on the internet.

Hmm... I think it might depend on how unique the words are. I just tried "belmont and western" on google maps and it showed me a couple of different intersections, though not the one I was going for. "No and where" got me nothing useful though. What's the names you're looking for?

Response by poster: Yes, the ampersand did it! Thanks everyone!
And @kmz, it would me the names of myself and a friend. Which I found, which is awesome!

Best answer: Just for fun I thought I'd mention two people I know who met and got married, their names are Donald and Vera, and they had a picture taken at this intersection, which also happens to be in their home town.
