Town names that make you giggle.

There are lots in PA that have already been touched upon in this thread, but Shartlesville is my personal favorite

Recent concert we had in the area saw a LOT of jokes upon that subject from the Florida based band!

We had a kid in town from Kill Devil Hills. He gave me his ID and I asked him for his real one,

I was only half kidding. IIRC ya’lls drivers licenses are good forever (10ish years).

Kill Devil Hills is the home of the monster truck Grave Digger.

Not particularly funny, but always used to see the sign for this on vacation on my drive between LA and Vegas. WTF is this all about?!?!

I love Zzyzx Road!

I think I read one time that the road was named for Zzyzx corporation, which owned the land that the road goes to. Or something like that.

If you read Harry Bosch novels, there's one where they discover some bodies buried off Zzyzx Rd.

Edit: Well, I was kinda right. From wiki:

Curtis Howe Springer made up the name Zzyzx and gave it to the area in 1944, claiming it to be the last word in the English language.[2][3] He established the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa in 1944 at the spot, which was federal land, after filing mining claims for 12,000 acres (4,900 ha) surrounding the springs. He used the springs to bottle his water and provide drinks for travelers through the hot desert. Springer also imported animals from around the country to attract more families to visit his ranch. He used Zzyzx until 1974 when the land was reclaimed by the government.[4]

You NC guys are killing me without Morehead City.

 

[tahoebum]

In my old sales territory in Northern California I had the towns of Angels Camp, Cool, Paradise, and Happy Valley.

 

[pumbaa]

You NC guys are killing me without Morehead City.

I can see that, but its a common last name but a little chuckle not as cool as Bat Cave or Kill Devil Hills though.
