No, there is actually a Little Italy. It's over in Perry Co., kind of south of Bigelow. Seems they have some volunteer fire something there every year...but it's a real place. As the crow flies it is about halfway between Roland and Bigelow.

Humnoke, just west of Stuttgart on 165. When I was a kid, my father would tell us a story about how the town got its name every time we drove through it. Seems it involved a large oak tree and a lot of wind.
His story about Wabbaseka involved some thirsty indians.
At Ulm on hwy 79, we were told that the founder couldn't make up his mind what to name the town.
I used to think for years that ZZ Top was singing about the town of LaGrange near Marianna.

Bullfrog Valley, AR. It's actually a little community and you have to go through the real Booger Holler to get there...not the tourist attraction on Hwy 7. Very beautiful place.

I adore Parthenon....so quiet, peaceful, pretty. I wish someone would get their hands on that old store and fix it up for something. |

Somebody got close but nobody has mentioned Greasy Corner near Hughes yet.
Then there's Guy.
FYI, there's also no Snow Lake in Snow Lake.

I like Monkey Run too. There's an old cemetery up in Monkey Run with a bunch of my deceased "hill-william" ancestors in it from way back |
