There’s is a motel* called “One on the go”.
- Of the “cheap-hourly-rates type”
Doggie grooming place - LaundroMutt
Computer repair place in Maine - Nerdful Things
There was a Dew Drop Inn near my hometown.
There’s a sandwich shop near me called Northern Roll (I live in Wigan).
I love that!
Is the computer repair place in Bangor? Or, alternately, not far from Orono? Because that’s priceless. I love it.
There’s an Italian restaurant in Little Italy, Baltimore called “Dego Mama’s”. I don’t know how they get away with having that name.
There was a kennel/grooming place near us called Happy Tails.
It was a rather happy place…
Until they got accused of killing multiple dogs and the owner shot his wife then himself.
Dego is a city in Italy, I think the slur is more often spelled dago, but I’ve seen it both ways.
I want to open a Mexican Restaurant and call it The Mole` Station.
Reminds me of such a place (if it’s still there) in Milpitas, CA: Oo-La-Lodge.
There’s a coffee shop up the coast in southern Maine called Brewed Awakenings which I think is cute. And I used to take my dog to a doggy daycare/boarding place called Happy Tails - I hope it wasn’t the one lost4life is referring to!
I once saw a big and tall men’s clothing store in London called “The High and the Mighty”.
And a baby-supply store in Dallas named “Daddy Did It”.
There was a Chinese restaurant on Boylston Street in Boston called the Wok Inn
And a Japanese Bun shop in Arlington, MA called The Ichi-Bun, which wins prizes in my book for a double-language pun.
There used to be a couple of places off Route 1 in New Jersey called The Inn Between and (I kid you not) The Dew Drop Inn.
When I was going to Penn State, there was coffee shop in State College called the Daily Grind. It sounds kind of “meh” now but it was clever back in 1991.
There used to be a bar next to the Shaughnessy Dam north of Columbus. It was named “By A Dam Site”.
My favorite local example is a dog-washing place:
You Dirty Dog.
There is a garden place around here called** The Plot Thickens. **
It stands for “People With Pencils,” which I find funnier than I should, probably. (I think it’s because it seems so unaccountably unaccountantly.)
This one was in Knoxville, so hopefully not.
Michigan has a Dam Site Inn…but this one was in HELL!
A car repair shop called Wreck-a-Mended. It’s in Rainsville, AL (or very near there). Extra points for the double meaning.
