Name recommendations from ePodunk users:
I used to live near Show Low, Arizona, named for the turn of a card in a card game. The story can be found at http://www.ci.show-low.az.us/public_info/newsletters/June03.pdf
I rather like the name Gravel Switch, KY. I have known a couple of former
residents of that community. I once lived for two years in Knob Knoster,
MO, but find the smaller community of Knob Lick, MO more interesting.
Although it is not a town, there is a school in West Virginia called Big
Scary School, named for an area called the Big Scary.
How About adding 'Hot Coffee, MS', and 'Sweeney Switch, TX'?
My favorite name belongs to the town of Frog Level, VA, about an hour outside of Richmond.
Chagrin Falls, OH. We lived there for 16 years and miss it.
Boring, OR, and Zigzag, OR
Slapout, Oklahoma - Panhandle community named by locals for the general store. Just about anything they asked for the proprietor was "slap out" of.
How about Intercourse, PA? Paradise, MI and Obetz, Ohio
Polo, Virginia. They asked the folks at the general store/post office at the crossroads why it had that name and they replied, "Because we is po' and we is lo."
