Thread Name: Place names
Subject: RE: Place names
Margarita got most of my favorites, but there's still Amity and Sublimity, and the town of the Dalles (pronounced Dolls)here in Oregon. Puta Creek, Bend, Sisters, oh, and we also have the booming metropolis of Deadwood (pop.7).
Along this line, when I'm travelling I often put the names on the road sign together and imagine a character in a novel to match the names. For example, Proberta Gerber (near the Cal/Or border on I-5) is probably a single schoolteacher with spunk. And Henley Hornbrook is her suitor.
Blessings,
