Yinz are forgetting some of the classics, like Blue Ball, Intercourse, and Paradise, Pennsylvania, which are very close together, and also happen to be near where I grew up. Pennsylvania is also home to the town of Jim Thorpe, named after the legendary athlete. Why did the townspeople agree to be part of this unusual memorial? I think it has a lot to do with the names of the two villages that joined together to form Jim Thorpe: East Mauch Chunk and Upper Mauch Chunk. I can’t help but think that if I had to put “Upper Mauch Chunk” on my return address labels, and somebody asked me if I’d like to change the name of my hometown to Jim Thorpe, I’d jump at the chance. Norway has what might be the original town of Hell. In addition to its status as a tourist trap, it’s home to Trondheim’s airport. Admit it, you’re nodding and saying, “Yup. That fits.” ---

Iowa has a bunch of sexual names. Cumming, Dyke, Fertile, Manly. Dinkytown MN isn’t really a city, it’s the University of Minnesota neighborhood inside of Minneapolis. Not a town name, but in Columbus Ohio, Boner street runs into Cherry Valley High. ---

Not a city name, but anyway. Here in Madison, there is are two streets that intersect called Hooker and Pleasure. The city had to weld on the street signs that showed “Pleasure” on top of “Hooker” because it was stolen so many times. ---
