This one just occurred to me. The Buster Boyd Bridge is weird to say the least. It's the only border of North Carolina and South Carolina that involves crossing a body of water. The even crazier part is that if you are coming from North Carolina, you actually drive north to get into South Carolina..... yup
Kane and Will Counties are adjacent, in Chicago's suburbs, and have no letters in common in spelling. But they can be connected by county names, changing one letter at a time

Speaking of South Carolina, if I am correct there are only two lower 48 states that bound on at least two other states yet which have a land border with only one of them. Maine of course bounds on only one state and that's a land border, but also has land borders with two Canadian provinces. So other than Maine, only South Carolina and New Jersey have a land border with only one other state. You can drive across a bridge or even walk over a few of them between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but can't walk across on land. The same may be true for South Carolina (and Georgia) as far as walking across a bridge from state to state, but both of those states have only one state border by land (New Jersey-New York, South Carolina-North Carolina).

New Jersey has a border across the Delaware River involving a bridge with Delaware in addition to Pennsylvania.
South Charleston, WV is mostly north of Charleston, WV. The town South Charleston was named that way because it is directly south of Charleston's neighborhood referred to as North Charleston.
There are at least two US cities of six letters, with two sets of double letters

McCook NE and McCall ID
Also, Emmett, in both MI and ID.
Unrelated: the other day I drove to Kerhonkson, New York, which is quite an oddity of a town name.
