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’ve lived in a bunch of places, but none really had interesting names. One of my college roommates used to talk about how Illinois named a bunch of cities after European ones, but pronounces them phonetically. So Marseilles, is called “Mar-sails.” I always thought that was funny.

MAINE ME!
I’ve always lived in towns with boring names… but think it would be awesome to live in Moose Jaw. Don’t know why that name makes me happy.

MAINE ME! Actually, I’ll be in Maine (I like to think of it as my second home) in a couple of weeks, and I’ll happily stop by Kennebunkport for some shopping! ;) And, to keep the theme going – I’ve been through Norway, Poland, and Paris – all in Maine!

MAINE ME!
I guess the only one I can think of around where I grew up is Rudolph, OH, which is where I used to ride my bike to when I was a teenager. It’s not as popular as North Pole, Alaska (which, oddly enough, is where my fiance was stationed in the Air Force), but they DO get a zillion letters addressed to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer every winter!
Kimberlea says
MAINE ME!
My family is originally from Maine. I love driving throughout the state. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, but Kennebunkport is only the beginning of incredible names.
carol H. says
What is so weird about Kennebunkport? It’s perfectly normal to me! (Maine Me).
I’ve been to Hell, Michigan and Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

It’s not really funny, more unique–Romance, Wisconsin is a tiny little town I drove through a few summers ago.

Marcia says
MAINE ME
Here in the south towns with weird names are so common! I know of one named Helican. The story is that the townspeople were trying to think of a name but couldn’t find one everyone liked. One man made the comment, “no one can think of a name for this town.” Another man replied, “hell, I can.” So everyone started calling the town Helican (only pronounced like Pelican).
Sophisticated Misfits says
MAINE ME! On the way to visit my Grandmother, we used to stop for gas in the TINY the town of Rice, Ca. The town’s gas station was its only business, and the station attendant its only inhabitant!

Rhiannon says
MAINE ME!
When I moved to Los Angeles from Seattle we went on a mini road trip down the west coast. One of the funniest signs on the highway had “Lebanon Sweet Home” on it, which are both Oregon cities. We got a kick out of that. Then in Northern California we stayed a night in a town called Gualala. When I called to check in with my parents I told them we were in “Gualalalalalalalalalalalala.”

don’t move baby p to blue bell, pennsylvania during high school, lots of immature and inappropriate jokes will ensue
rhiannon says
I JUST REMEMBERED.
there’s a town called Yreka Zzyzx in California. I think that wins in odd names. It sounds like the guy who named it fell asleep on his keyboard and his face did the typing.
lyndsey holcombe says
MAINE ME!
Chunky, Mississippi…funny name for the US’s “Fattest State”!!!
