Cities with Beautiful Names That Are Anything But
My nominations in my area are:
Panorama City
Lake Balboa (this is really the west part of Van Nuys!)
(I'll think of more, but I'm brain dead at the moment.)
In your area, they are...?  |

Willow Grove, PA --- It's just alright. 
New Britain, PA --- nice area, doesn't look anything like Britain, new or old.
Pleasantville, NJ --- It ain't.
Rio Grande, NJ --- There IS NO big river. Anywhere. |

Did you happen to see the mothman?
I also see similarities to this in street names - how many Pleasant Streets actually are? |

lol- The Mothman- well in WV they said it is a BIG tourist destination; suffice to say- there is one main street.
Pleasant Valley- Pleasant Hill Rd- I lived on in Tennessee- it was a rental area- not pleasant- section 8 across the street.lol.
