Don't have any other town names to add, but wierdest road name I've come across is Roasted Meat Hill Road in Killingworth, CT.  Passed by that one while drivng over to pick up an O-Scope from Al, W1UX.

I just returned from vacation, where I passed through Usec, Tennesee.  A town so small, it only takes a microsecond to drive through?

If you want some funny names check out VO1 land.How about Conception Bay or Placentia Newfoundland? How about Carbonear? I guess you get that one from listening to close to an arcing tranny.Then of course there is the town of Dildo Newfoundland.One of my favorites I saw several years ago while on vacation was Butzville New Jersey. I can't imagine having to respond when asked where I was from if I lived there. :oops:
