It’s a shame we can’t take any major road trips right now (thanks to our wee one) since this week’s giveaway has us itching to head north to Kennebunkport, Maine. That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome

MAINE ME! I once lived near Niceville, FL which is home to the Mullet Festival.

Maine Me!
and I used to live in Yellville, Arkansas. It was named after Archibald Yell. He offered 15 dollars to the Shawnee Indians to change the name of their town from Shawnee Town to Yellville. They changed the name, and he never paid them!
Yellville is home to Turkey Trot. It is a local festival where every couple of hours a plane flies over the festival and drops a live turkey. Tons of kids, young and old, run after the turkey and try to catch it.

Maine Me! I think my personal favorite is Hell, Michigan though Mexico, Indiana is pretty good too.
Kayt says
MAINE ME!
It’s not a city, but we have a lot of streets here in Colorado named Kinnikinnick. It makes me smile every time I dispatch someone there. I always end up saying Kinnikinnikinnikinnick. It’s a sickness. (sickinnikness? stop me!)

I live in Arizona, and we’ve got some pretty unique names like Tuba City, AZ, Why, AZ (a good question), and Bootlegger Crossing, AZ. Nothing quite like living in the southwest sometimes…

I think it’s funny how some cities near state borders have names that are a combination of the two state names, like Texarkana.

Bucksnort, TN never fails to make my family laugh. We passed through once on a near-cross-country roadtrip.
elvira says
MAINE ME! Can’t think of any weird city names right now but Kennebunkport makes me think of a Dana Carvey SNL skit. Now I can’t get it out of my brain!!

I love your blog!!!
Kim says
MAINE ME!!
I’m from Massachusetts and we love to name towns a certain way but then pronounce it totally different – it helps differentiate the locals from the visitors. ie. Worchester – pronounced Wusta
Taylor says
MAINE ME! We have a town near us called Ninety-Six (spelled out like that). I always thought that was so weird…

Megan says
Maine me, please!
I clearly haven’t traveled enough to run into such crazy sounding places! I don’t think this name is that odd, but there have been a few occurrences where I have mentioned my hometown to strangers and they think it is made up: Sugar Land.
Jazmine says
Maine Me!
One of the funniest cities names I have seen (that is blog appropriate!) is Boring, Oregon!
Patty says
MAINE ME!!!!!! I lived in a town called LOS GATOS which is “The Cats” in Spanish. It is close to the Santa Cruz mountains which in earlier times,(in the 1870’s) had quite a few mountain lions roaming around. Appropriate name for this small town.

Kalamazoo, MI –I just think that is a funny name -remember I first heard it in a Dr Seuss book, certainly didn’t think there realy was a town by that name.
Megan says
MAINE ME!
It’s not a very funny name but more ironic. I went to school in Valparaiso, IN which roughly means “paradise valley” Never understood how Northwest Indiana, a place that gets lake affect snows and who’s claim to fame is the hometown of Orville Redenbacher was paradise…but maybe that’s just me.
