I've always thought it was interesting how there are two counties in south Georgia side by side of one another.. one named Coffee..the other named Bacon. Throw in an egg, and you have breakfast.

Oh and then there's Hephzibah..only because people from outside that area have no clue ow to pronounce. I think it's Hebrew for something.. probably redneck.

If someone has some photos of these strangely named places and could post then that would be cool.. especially a road sign with the the unusual name.

Everythings cooler in Pooler.
Everythings better in Metter.
Everythings stinkin' in Rincon.
...yeah, I know, its verrry original. I've lived in SE Georgia for 17 years and thats what I got. ...I also want to note that I've been through Climax. Funny how in conservative SW GA you have a name like that!
