Places near you with weird names

14-Jan-12 18:36

Ok, looking at the "Towns and Cities You've Been To" thread made me think of this one. Everybody has some place near them with an oddball name...so what are they?

I have two here in North Carolina that are strange. Conetoe (they pronounce it Co-nee-ta, but fuck it, it's spelled cone toe) and Lizard Lick.
