Tess,

Not sure where Hell, Mi. should go in your lists?

People like to ride motorcycles out that way and it is a nice little stop. Nothing big and you can blink and miss it.

Normal, IL

Hey, I grew up in Normal, IL.....No kidding.....

AND....I swear this is true....when I was in college, my dad got transferred to
the KC, Missouri area. He looked at a few houses in Peculiar, Mo. before he ended up buying closer to KC.

So, I almost moved from Normal, IL to Peculiar, Mo.

Those who know me would say that sounds appropriate!

Ironically ethnocentric names given to areas in NYS because of assumptions:

Syracuse
Ithica
Rome
....

YOu get the idea

All these Greco/Romanesque names were used because the Euro types mistook the Iroquois (Hodenoshonee) Indian "Seneca" tribe for the Western Philosopher Seneca and started the "Classical" theme of names.... If I was a modern Native American, I would find it funny. Hell, I'm not and I still find it funny.
 
my kids always get a roar out of the exit on I-80 for Buttzville, NJ...

Tess, there's a town in Virginia named Climax as well and if you're leaving the western part of the state that I'm in heading there you have to go through Tight Squeeze, Va to reach Climax!! Gee, wonder what the locals had on their mind when they named those two towns.

You've got to be kidding me. I'm looking that up on Mapquest. If that's true, I have to see it.

Passing through one town to get to another could make a person feel like a big....

Nope. Can't say it. I'm not filling in that blank.
