Gloredhel BS: Oxymoron place names (83* d) RE: BS: Oxymoron place names 18 Jun 03


There is a Climax, NY, and it isn't much of one. Pretty disappointing, actually.

There's also East Durham and West Durham, NY, but no Durham.

I passed through Agua Caliente, CA today, but the road I was driving on was, according to the sign, Aqua Caliente. Aqua...Caliente. Were they mixing languages?

I also passed two famous roads--Appian Way and Champs Elyees, of course, they were both located here in California, along the Russian River. The Champs Elyees was so narrow that it didn't even have a divider line, and the surroundings didn't resemble the Elesian Fields at all--thick redwood forest and dilapidated houses. The Appian Way that I passed was a one-lane gravel road leading out to a field and dead ending at the Russian River.
