TOWNS, A new game

Hi Kids

Was listening to an old radio program. It was very popular in the 30s and 40s.
The writer used to amuse himself and his audience by making up crazy names for
small towns. I can only think of one at the moment, but it's a good example:
Dismal Seepage, Ohio.

Anyhoo, I think a list of Towns You Probably Wouldn't Want To Move To might
be fun.

Gopher Hole, Texas
Smudge Pot, Oregon
Waste Basket, New Jersey

Fly Paper, Utah
Lost Hope, Mississippi
Gangrene Gap, Colorado

By way of contrast here's a view of my home town from half a century ago. It had
a very positive name. And a popular one too. Used in roughly 30 states.

Rock, are these names of real towns or just made up? GB

Duck Town TN
Turtle Town TN
Pigeon Forge TN

Florida Towns include:
Two Egg
Fluffy Landing
Couch
Dog Town
Sopchoppy
Yeehaw Junction

Hi GB

That's a great list. I like Yeehaw best. Sounds like a place where folks know how to
have fun. I made up the names in my post above except for Dismal Seepage.

There are some places named New Hope, but couldn't find any named Lost Hope.
Probably are some mines that are lost. Here's a few more goofy ones.

Gator Alley, Florida
Barbed Wire, Montana
Stove Poker, South Dakota

Shoo Fly Pie, Pennsylvania
Last Date, Delaware
Lonesome Meadow, Mississippi

I've been reading a lot of Amish stories lately and there are some very unusual names in Lancaster County PA, like the above mentioned Shoo Fly Pie. My favorite is Bird In Hand. GB

• Accident, Maryland.
• Cut And Shoot, Texas.
• Embarrass, Minnesota.
• Great and Little Snoring, Norfolk
  
• Wankers Corner, Oregon

No one wants to live at Red Tide Beach, FL.

Love, Mikie

Hi Kids

GB, I looked up shoo fly pie some years back. Can't remember a thing about it.

Mikie, Oh, I don't know. Is everybody affected by the Red Tide or are some immune?
I'd try living there just to have you for a neighbor.

Soul, nice to hear from you. Drop in more often. I never heard of any of those places except
the one in Minnesota. Found a picture from Wankers Corner. Here's a pic of the general store.
Biggest one I ever saw.
