Green Bean, I live about 15 miles away from Hicksville .

When I found a town called Hell (In Michigan), I used Yahoo to make some directions from a certain person’s (who had far exceeded my tolerance for her) house to Hell, MI…
Moments later, I gave that map and the directions as I told her where to go and how to get there…

Dunmovin, CA: a century plus old town just east of the granite block known as the Sierra Nevadas.
How about Pickle Street, WV. Small town, middle of the state.
Can’t think of any odd cities here in Ohio, unless Washington Court House counts. Not funny or perverse, just odd.
In Loudonville, Ohio, there is a street named Tom Dick and Harry Lane. Not sure if it was named for residents or not, but it is the most often stolen street sign in the county.
There’s a Hell for Sartin in Kentucky. I heard that at the high school there the authorities put up a sign saying “No drinking, no smoking, and no rock and roll music.”
That might explain the name of the town.
Also in PA:
Eighty-Four. Home of 84 Lumber. I bought a car here once.
Hmmm…in Ohio, we have Brilliant, Excello, Dry Run, and Greasy Ridge.
DogMom,
I’m not far from that particular Hicksville myself.
Boring, Oregon
Drain, Oregon
Lots of jokes about Boring man drowns in Drain.
Fukuoka’s not on Okinawa; it’s on Kyushu. Different island, same country (Japan). Very nice city; I even got married there. Except it’s hard to explain the airport code to Americans. FUK. :eek:
I once received a post card from a freind of mine from Humptulips, it said “Greetings from Humptulips, just Keep Off the Grass”.
Hell, Michigan
Yep, I’ve been there. My brother went on the “Hayride in Hell” once, too.
I just spent about 5 years in Hermitage…Tennessee that is. Andrew Jackson built his mansion out in the middle of nowhere, and called it The Hermitage…after awhile (several decades), a community sprung up around it.
How have we gotten this far without Belchertown, MA being mentioned?
