are there strange named places in your part of the world.

Here are some in Mine...In Yorkshire there is HeII Ghyll, there is a sign there that says 'Welcome to HeII Ghyll and you can stand over the Ghyll bit and it looks like it says welcome to HeII'..... Wigglesworth and Giggleswick and Weepool.

then in Wales there is this place and if you can pronounce it you are better than me.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch

This is the name of a town in North Wales. The name translates as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" in Welsh, has long claimed the fame of having the longest name in the world.

In the south of England there is Six mile Bottom, next to a town called Loo, (loo is a slang term for the toilet in England)

there are quite a few more the list goes on.

There's a Bald Knob, Ark. Always did get a kick out of that one.

There's a small town near here called Fisher. That's not weird, but their sports teams are called the Bunnies. Don't know how that came about, but they take a lot of ribbing about it.

 

[ga. prime]

nope, no strange named places here.

There's Merry Christmas texas right out of Longview there on Loop 281 and I-20.

Whiskey Flats is just about 25 east of me but the good folks there have tried to change the name to "Wheatland" but no one calls it that.

Going through Mississippi there is a town called WhyNot and Causeyville is on the other side of the main highway from it.

Pumpville

Lajitas (which really does have a beerdrinking goat for a mayor)

You're correct, except it's Blue Ball, where Eby trailers are headquarted. It's just down the road from Intercourse, an amish town I believe. Which is just across the way from Bird-In-Hand. :lol:

I went to school in Miami. Miami, Manitoba that is. Population of about 300 souls. People would ask where we were from and we'd say Miami and they'd say 'My friends and I were thinking of flying down there next year'. Yep, call me from the airport. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Crowderfarms]

We got a place down the ridge from here called Graball.

 

[Cabo]

My farm is close to Sweet Lips, TN

Got lost in Alabama one night and ended up in Slapout, AL. I thought it was because it was slapout in the middle of nowhere but was told that it was because the General Store was always slapout of everything.
