Its somewhere between Knoxville and Tri-Cities, but in our computer system I remember seeing a customer with a street named "Butter and Egg Road". That cracked me up. There was another called Buttermilk Road.

Cagle Knob Rd., which happens to exist in a community called Yellow Springs, just above Dunlap, TN. I'll post more if I can remember them.

How about the communities of Nameless, Defeated, or Difficult? These are located in Jackson and Smith counties.

We just came through there tonight from Chattanooga on the 127 yard sales and I was wondering the same thing. Also we passed one called Daddy's creek, anyone know how it got it's name?  |

I did some traveling through Western North Carolina last week. While these aren't TN names, I love them and wanted to share. Most of these are on SR226: the communities of Peppers, Bandana, Day Book, and the favorite, Loafer's Glory.  |

A couple of my favorite are right here in Lincoln County--one already mentioned--Booger Hollow Road.
The other is what gave me my user name---Skinem, a little community in Lincoln County. It's named after my wife's multi-great grandfather. There's two storeis about why it's called that. He owned a store there and he was either such a sharp merchant that if you weren't careful, he'd "skin" you...or, he was so mean he'd skin you.
Guess it depends on what you thought of the man as to which story you'd believe is true.
I've also thought Gruetli-Lagar was a funny name--I'm sure it's just a couple of Swiss names, but they are different.
