Lightbulb Favorite unusual city names.
Hey y'all. I just read a thread discussing place names (Cities with beautiful names that are anything but), and I got to thinking about another idea: how about places that have unique, unusual, or just plain bizarre names? Here in Texas, there is no shortage of these. I'll share a few:

Gun Barrel City
Noodle Dome
Oatmeal
Cut and Shoot
Tarzan
Lazbuddie
Telephone
Telegraph
Climax
Tigertown

and my favorite-

Bug Tussle

I'm sure there are a dozen more but none I can think of off the top of my head.

I've already seen Hell, MI; that was a good one. What else is out there?

I love the name of Florida's Apalachicola. It's just fun to say for some reason. Horse Pasture VA is kinda cool too.

Isn't there a place called "Nothing" or "Nowhere" in Colorado? It was something like that I can't remember.
