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

Growing up in Michigan, it’s always been a long standing joke of living in ‘Hell’. There is a town named ‘Hell, MI’.

Eliza says
Maine Me!
Last month, on my way through New Mexico, I drove through Wagon Mound (slightly amusing) and Truth and Consequences (slightly amusing, but mostly intimidating). In college I drove through Intercourse, PA (where you can buy signs to commemorate your visit). And my husband’s favorite is Weipee, ID (pronounced Wee Ipe).

Leah says
Maine Me! I live in a town called Montrose Colorado which is really not a funny or interesting name. However, there is a town not far from here called No Name, Colorado. No lie. There is even a sign. Funny. Love your blog. Great inspiration!

How about a little town not too farm from me, Two Egg, Florida? Couldn’t believe it, but they have a website: http://www.twoeggfla.com/.
Really enjoy your site. Congratulations on your little one!

I can’t think of any city names that are unusual, but we do live near Aloha, Oregon. I made the mistake of pronouncing it like a Hawaiian aloha when we first moved here, but it is not.

Spaces is georgous and would compliment my “sea” inspired them in our little cape cod house in Plymouth Ma.

Maine me! I don’t live in a city with an unusual name. Although I live near Livermore, which makes me wonder who named it and why they want more liver.

My favorite funny town name is one my husband found in his work as a GIS analyst…Pie Town, NM! Sounds yummy!
meghan says
MAINE ME!
My bad, I accidentally hit the enter key after my first response.
What I meant to add was that I haven’t lived in any weird town names, but in a town in Texas, the street names for the downtown area are (I kid you not): which way, what way, circle way, this way, that way.
So conversations go a little like this, “Go down circle way, make a right at which way, turn left at what way, and then go all the way down that way.”
=D

I grew up in Smoketown, PA, which neighbors Intercourse, PA as well as Blue Ball, PA!
Always draws a couple of laughs!
Gretchen says
Maine Me!
What a great shop! I grew up in the towns of Sykesville (seriously) and Eldersburg (not just full of old people). Both pretty silly in my mind.
KimberlyH says
MAINE ME!!
Amazingness! I don’t live in a funny-named town but my favorite Maine attraction is the famous sign post that has direction arrows for all of the Maine town names that are differenct countries (i.e. Poland, Portugal, France, etc. – these are all different names of towns in Maine!!) Look it up! its great!
