In Michigan we have (...) Hell.

And I bet you have a highway to there.

Seems a lot of people nowadays are on that road.

Near Lancaster in Pennsylvania you'll find that Intercourse is right next to Paradise....

Intercourse and Climax just may be sister cities.

Since you're in Michigan I'll bet the town of Hell gets to hear a lot of "frozen over" jokes.

Being that it is in Michigan it happens every year.

Actually, the entire town is/was for sale if you're interested. I talked to the owner some time back, kind of an interesting fellow.

I like Texas town names. Sometimes they're very obvious like Plains and Levelland, both in tabletop flat West Texas. Alpine is in the mountains. Canyon is near the miniature Grand Canyon known as Palo Duro Canyon State Park, a dramatic drop from the plains of West Texas. But why is there a lovely mountain (Beaumont) in the wetlands of East Texas? How about George West, located in South Texas? If you're not sure what state you're in just head for Texas City. But sometimes that's just confusing. Missouri City isn't in Missouri. And as Dorothy might have said to her dog had she found herself in Wichita Falls, "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more." However, if you've ever lost your way in the galaxy just head for Earth.

Texas:

Chile:

I read an article when I lived in San Antonio about some official - can't remember if it was state, county or local - ordered a Texas flag but got a Chile flag. I'm not sure if the official ordered wrong or the seller was from out-of-state and didn't know North America from South America. I think it was flown at some function attended by the governor and thus became newsworthy.

I just don't understand Pennsylvania. Perhaps the people who live there dream of being elsewhere. After all, why else would you find Indiana and California there?

There's also a Climax in Pennsylvania.

You won't find the King of Prussia in Germany. He's living in suburban Philadelphia. Did he move to Pennsylvania for the great sex?

To take this thread in a little different direction it's interesting that North Branch, MI is actually about 130 miles south of South Branch, MI and when driving between them you can travel through West Branch, MI which is (kind of) in between them.

My favorite is West, TX. Which isn't anywhere near the western half of the state.

Another one I heard about was a lady living in a suburb of Dallas... She was calling to order something, and the operator told her, "ma'am, I'm gonna need something more specific than Plano, Texas." (Hint, read it out loud, maybe with a little drawl)

Also: Palo Duro, you say?

To the op: sorry for the thread-jack!

Not to mention that it's east of Eastland.

....To the op: sorry for the thread-jack!

Likewise, but it sure has been fun.

Funny thing, but there have been a couple of totally off topic threads today that have been great, interesting and amusing fun.

Gotta' love this place!

Apologies to our new member OP as well.

Which means you talked to the Devil.
