What are some of the weird town (and city) names in your state? For example, Maryland has Accident... Boring... (which got a mention in an episode of Homicide) ... Chevy Chase... Cockeysville (woohoo!) ... Detour... Finksburg... Funkstown... Port Tobacco... Rising Sun... Savage... Scaggsville... Seat Pleasant... Timonium. Oh, and let's not forget Cabin John. I've heard there's also a Crappo and a Bivalve in Maryland. Maryland has a California and a Berlin and even a Vienna, and my brother got married (the first time) in Texas, Maryland. Honorary mention for weird body of water name goes to Assawoman Bay.
Also, Pennsylvania is ripe with weird town names. I used to love visiting Lancaster county because we could go to Intercourse one day and Virgin the next, and then stop off at Bird-in-Hand.
Ever lived in a town with a weird name? Did other people give you a hard time when you told them where you lived? Did people ever think you were making up the name?
