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

There’s a road with a haunted one-lane bridge near where I live called Booger Holler. That’s not really a place, but it’s a funny looking street sign!

“MAINE ME!”
Growing up in Mississippi, we had tons of funny named places; Rolling Fork, Yazoo City, Kosciusko. Now I’m in Alabama and while we have our own share of interesting names, I live in a tiny place called Indian Springs Village. We incorporated so the larger cities around us would not come in and put up strip malls or fast food everywhere. It is truly a beautiful place; our home is on top of a ‘mountain’ (really a foothill of the Smokies) and we border a state park with tons of wildlife.

MAINE ME!
We spent a year in Uganda, East Africa, in a little bush town called Kiwoko (sounds like chee-wo-ko). You know, the one near Luweero :-) I’m from Hyden, KY — when I was a kid I thought it was because my town was “hidin’ in the mountains”. LOL
Katie M. says
MAINE ME!
When I was a kid, I used to live near What Cheer, IA. I always thought it was pretty ironic, as there wasn’t much to do there. So, I always put a question mark at the end: What Cheer? … :)

Just north of us there is a town called Athol. They sell coffee cups that say, “I’m an Athol without my coffee.”
Used to drive through a town called Weed, CA whenever we drove north. Couldn’t help but feel like I was doing something wrong when we stopped there for gas.
Love your blog!

Pine Apple, Georgia

Maine me!
My favorite city name would definitely have to be Tuba City. It’s out west, in Arizona, I think. It makes me think of an old SNL skit about Spatula City.

I visited with my family in Amish area named Intercourse, PA!
Heather says
Maine Me!! I’m drooling over those store photos!
There is a town not far from where I grew up in Florida called Plant City. It’s not the funniest name ever, but it always makes me think of an enormous warehouse full of discounted fake plants! Especially amusing to me when I see it on a map. (Oddly, the town was named after a man named Henry Plant, not after vegetation.)
In Florida, Plant City is famous for strawberries, and hosts an annual festival celebrating them. It is amazing and would make a great future road trip destination!

My grandparents used to have a summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine, so I’ve been there several times (alas, I don’t remember visiting this store, though). As for other unusual place names, I did some digging and uncovered a town called Screamersville, VA.
