Residents of Dork Street feel unpopular. "I had a resume kicked back because someone thought I was kidding," said Dork Street homeowner, Mario Saucedo. He has lived on the suburban street about a dozen miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles for eight years. Ester Avetisian, who moved there 18 years ago, said she might have thought twice if there had been a sign in those days marking the road tucked into what is still a semi-rural section of town where people keep goats and chickens in their back yards. "I didn't know the name until my husband and I were signing mortgage papers. I was pretty shocked when I found out. " Still, most residents have learned how to deal with the jokes. "It's pretty funny," said Clyde Parra, who has lived on Dork Street for eight years. "When I go to cash a check at the store, people ask me if I'm a dork. " Officials say there is no record at City Hall explaining how the street got its odd name, but residents believe it was named after someone called Dork. It first appeared on a Los Angeles County tract map in 1936. "It's obviously historic, and it seems like streets named for last names are the norm in that area," city spokesman Bob Spencer said.
